2510 Tratman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

As of July 2025, 2510 Tratman Avenue, a 5-story, 62-unit building constructed in 1928, has experienced significant and persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years. Recent complaints from June 2025 indicate multiple unresolved water leak issues, with both heavy flow and slow leaks reported, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access the relevant rooms for inspection in some cases. The building has ongoing concerns with pest infestations, including open violations for roaches and mice in apartment B25 (from December 2024) and recent rodent activity detected in May 2025.

Other notable violations include problems with windows (C violation in apartment B25 regarding upper sash repair), water leaks affecting multiple units (B18 and C18), an obstructed fire escape passageway, and various plumbing and sanitation issues. The building's management has received multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for failure to maintain building code compliance, including issues with windows in apartment C26 (active penalty of $3,125) and a past violation for an obstructed fire escape passageway (active penalty of $1,250). There are also several outstanding violations related to energy efficiency requirements, including failure to submit annual energy reports and display energy scores as required by NYC building codes, with penalties accumulated since 2021.

Historical complaints show a pattern of maintenance issues, including blocked egress points, building stability concerns, and a brief history of bedbug infestation between 2019-2020. The property has had mixed results in rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in 2025 showing rat activity, contrasting with passed results in earlier years between 2012 and 2019. The building's current owner, Richard Nussbaum, through Jayherb Realty Corporation, has numerous active violations and penalties that remain unresolved as of 2025.
