2446 Lyvere Street, Bronx, NY 10461

2446 Lyvere Street is a 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Lyvere Holdings II LLC. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months. As of mid-2025, there are multiple open violations and complaints related to building systems and resident comfort, including an open heat/hot water complaint from May 2025, and recent plumbing issues that HPD was unable to inspect. Between May and June 2025, the building received several HPD violations including issues with flooring, mold, and plumbing problems in various units.

Unit 5B has multiple open violations from late 2024, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and pest infestations, while Unit 1D has documented pest invasion issues from November 2024. The building's infrastructure has been a concern, with violations for unsafe electrical wiring and security concerns related to missing emergency lighting. Environmental inspections have shown persistent rodent activity, with multiple failed inspections recorded between 2021 and 2023, and the building's sanitation conditions have been questioned recently regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest issues documented in June 2025. The property has a documented history of maintenance violations and safety concerns extending back to 2018, including issues with heating systems, electrical wiring, and pest infestations.

Various Department of Buildings violations and ECB violations have been issued over the years, though many of these have been resolved. Of particular note, there are active violations as of September 2024 for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The building's management has attempted to address some issues, evidenced by the certification of certain violations, but numerous open violations remain. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, indicating ongoing pest control efforts, though recent complaints suggest continued sanitation challenges. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2018, and the building has maintained records of zero infested units in recent reporting periods, the persistence of other maintenance issues indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
