2829 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

Located in Fordham, 2829 Valentine Avenue is a 13-story, 81-unit residential building that was completed in 2022 and is currently owned by Boris Babakhanov. The building's infrastructure has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly during 2025, with multiple plumbing issues reported - including three separate incidents involving toilets between February and April 2025, and a more recent door frame issue in May 2025 that resulted in HPD violations.

Earlier problems included various infrastructural concerns such as sink and basin plumbing issues (August 2022), and later complaints regarding mailbox and intercom systems (December 2024), all of which were addressed by HPD inspections. The building experienced some initial quality control issues following construction in 2022, with reports of unsanitary conditions including mold and pest problems in January 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection.

While the building has had its share of maintenance requests, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations since the building's completion, with all four recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicating zero affected units. Most complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, though the recent door frame violation suggests some ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's management has generally responded to issues as they arise, with many complaints being resolved within a few days of reporting, while others require more extensive corrections and follow-up inspections.
