2885 Briggs Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458
2885 Briggs Avenue is a 5-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Steven Finkelstein. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, including both apartment-specific and entire building incidents.
Additionally, there is a documented rodent history in the building, with multiple complaints and inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2024, though the most recent October 2024 inspection resulted in a pass. The building experienced significant maintenance issues centered around apartment 5D in 2024, with multiple violations related to pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, and various repair needs including plaster surfaces and fixture issues, all of which were officially certified as corrected by May 2024. Previous maintenance history shows other issues including door/window problems, ceiling work needed, and occasional unsanitary conditions complaints.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested units. A permit for exterior work was issued in February 2021. While the building has faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and pest control, the timely closure of many complaints and violations suggests some level of responsive management to maintenance issues, though recurring heat problems in early 2025 raise concerns about system reliability.
