2700 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 2700 Jerome Avenue building, a 13-story, 136-unit Class A apartment complex completed in 2017, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been repeated problems with sewage odors affecting indoor air quality in June 2025, and multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented between late March and April 2025, including issues with mold, paint/plaster conditions, flooring, and heat/hot water systems. Apartment 600 was found to have significant maintenance issues in late 2024, including defective plaster surfaces, electrical wiring problems, and flooring concerns, while apartment 205 had violations related to fire safety equipment and surface maintenance.

The building has also experienced elevator-related problems, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2024, and currently has active ECB violations related to elevator service from 2024. The building's maintenance history shows periodic pest control efforts, with one reported bedbug infestation in 2023-2024, though subsequent reports show no additional infestations. Rodent inspections have generally passed, except for one failure in November 2024.

Recent complaints have been addressed by various city agencies, including HPD and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has had multiple permits issued for various maintenance and repair work between 2018 and 2021, indicating ongoing efforts to address building systems and infrastructure. While many violations have been closed through corrective actions, including repairs and replacements, the pattern of recent complaints suggests continuing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
