190 Fordham Street, Bronx, NY 10464

The 16-unit, 3-story residential building at 190 Fordham Street, City Island, dating back to 1898 and currently owned by Efrrain Negron, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges from late 2024 through 2025. The building is facing significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, including two "slow leak" complaints (January 2025 and December 2024) and one "heavy flow" complaint (December 2024). In December 2024, there were multiple complaints that inspectors were unable to access, including issues with wiring, walls, plumbing (bathtub/shower), insulation, multiple instances of mold, and pest problems.

The building has also received active violations regarding exterior maintenance, including deteriorated mortar joints and peeling stucco, with serious safety concerns noted about brick and stucco at the east wall above Apartment #3 (January 2025). The property's historical issues are notable, including multiple boiler violations from 2018 regarding safety features and maintenance requirements, though these were marked as resolved. The building's recent history includes some concerning structural and mechanical issues as of January 2025, with complaints about building shaking/vibration and partial vacate orders.

Notably, there have been three separate complaints about construction work and building stability in January 2025, though inspections did not reveal violations in some cases. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, generally passing these checks, except for one failure in August 2024. While there have been periodic air quality complaints and unsanitary condition reports, including one in January 2025 about chemical vapors/odors, the property has not shown consistent patterns of bedbug infestations, with recent reports showing zero affected units between 2022 and 2024.
