Professional door buzzer repair and intercom repair throughout Jerome Park — the verdant elevated northwestern Bronx neighborhood bounded by Mosholu Parkway to the northeast, the Grand Concourse to the east, Bedford Park Boulevard to the south, and the Jerome Park Reservoir to the west. ZIPs 10463 and 10468, patrolled by the 50th Precinct, part of Bronx Community Board 8 (Council Member Eric Dinowitz). Jerome Park is named for Leonard Walter Jerome (1817-1891) — the “King of Wall Street” stock speculator, founder of the American Jockey Club, founder of the American Academy of Music, principal owner of The New York Times for several years, and the maternal grandfather of Sir Winston Churchill. Three extraordinary distinctive features define the neighborhood. First: the Jerome Park Reservoir — 94 acres, two-mile circumference, holding 773 million gallons of water (about 10-30% of New York City’s water supply), completed in 1906 as the receiving terminus of the New Croton Aqueduct on a natural depression in a high ridge, surrounded by elegantly crafted classical balustrades and iron fences. Second: the original Jerome Park Racetrack (opened September 25, 1866 by Leonard W. Jerome with his brothers and the financier August Belmont) was the site of the inaugural Belmont Stakes in 1867, one of the three Triple Crown races; the racetrack closed 1890 / racing ended 1894 when the city condemned the property for the reservoir. Third: the “Education Mile” — the extraordinary cluster of educational institutions stretching from Reservoir Avenue along Goulden Avenue to Mosholu Parkway South, including Lehman College (CUNY senior college, originally Hunter College’s Bronx campus 1931, Collegiate Gothic), DeWitt Clinton High School (opened 1897 in Greenwich Village, moved to Bronx 1929, with 12,000 students said to be the largest high school in the world in 1934, all-boys until 1983), Bronx High School of Science (moved to present campus March 1959, A-plus Niche rating), Walton High School / Walton Campus, the High School for American Studies, and PS 95 Sheila Mencher (elementary). From the prewar Art Deco and Tudor Revival apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse and Goulden Avenue corridors, to the postwar mid-rise condominium and tenement buildings (3201 Grand Concourse 1963 6-story; 3131 Grand Concourse 1955 12-story), to the Tracey Towers and Scott Tower apartments built over the Concourse and Jerome Subway Yards, to the Villa Avenue houses (modeled after an English village to originally house Jerome Park Racetrack workers) — If your apartment buzzer is not working or your intercom system stopped working, we fix it same day. Most repairs completed in a single visit.
Jerome Park began as the country home of Alexander Bathgate — a 230-acre hilltop estate later purchased by Leonard W. Jerome (the famous “King of Wall Street” stock speculator and maternal grandfather of Winston Churchill) and developed as the Jerome Park Racetrack, opened September 25, 1866 with his brothers and the financier August Belmont. The track marked the return of thoroughbred racing to the metropolitan area after a hiatus during the Civil War, and held the inaugural Belmont Stakes in 1867 — one of the three races now constituting the Triple Crown. Around the racetrack, a small enclave of houses on Villa Avenue was modeled after an English village to house workers at the racetrack. By 1889, the demand for water in the rapidly-growing city outstripped what the Old Croton Aqueduct could supply, and plans were laid for the New Croton Aqueduct to terminate at a vast new reservoir; in 1890 the city condemned the Jerome Park Racetrack for the project (the track survived briefly until 1894 before being shut entirely). The Jerome Park Reservoir was completed in 1906, holding 773 million gallons of water across 94 acres with a two-mile circumference and 25-foot depth, surrounded by elegantly crafted stone walls and 30 acres of constructed and landscaped earth. Today the reservoir distributes 10 to 30 percent of New York City’s water and is the LAST RESERVOIR on the New Croton Aqueduct before water emerges from city faucets. After the racetrack closed, Leonard Jerome remained involved in horse racing as president of the new Morris Park Racecourse (1889), which replaced the Jerome Park Racetrack — that successor track, built by John A. Morris in what is now the Indian Village neighborhood, in turn closed in 1904 and burned in 1910. Throughout the 20th century, Jerome Park became the “Education Mile” — with DeWitt Clinton High School (1929), Lehman College (originally Hunter College’s Bronx Campus 1931, Collegiate Gothic style, with WWII WAVES training site for 81,000 women, and the UN Security Council holding its first sessions in the Lehman gymnasium March to August 1946), Bronx High School of Science (1959 campus), Walton High School / Walton Campus, and the High School for American Studies all opened in succession on the former racetrack/reservoir-perimeter lands. The Kingsbridge Armory (1912-17, on the site of the razed Bathgate home, reputedly the world’s largest armory, with NYC’s finest brick facades) sits at the southern edge. When a door buzzer is not working in a Jerome Park building, tenants miss deliveries, visitors get stranded, and building security is compromised. If your intercom is not ringing in your apartment or your buzzer works but the door won’t unlock, that’s an urgent intercom repair call.
We provide same day door buzzer repair throughout Jerome Park — from the prewar Art Deco and Tudor Revival apartment buildings along the Grand Concourse, Mosholu Parkway, and Goulden Avenue corridors, to the postwar mid-rise condominium and tenement buildings (3201 Grand Concourse, the 6-story 78-unit 1963 condominium designed by architect Martin Lowenfish; 3131 Grand Concourse, the 12-story 113-unit 1955 building), to the Tracey Towers (1970s 41-story tower complex) and Scott Tower apartments built over the Concourse Subway Yards (1930s) and Jerome Subway Yards (early 1920s), to the Villa Avenue houses (originally English-village-modeled racetrack worker housing), to the small commercial frontage along Goulden Avenue and the Bedford Park Boulevard southern boundary, to the Education Mile institutional buildings (Lehman College, DeWitt Clinton High School, Bronx High School of Science, Walton Campus, High School for American Studies, PS 95 Sheila Mencher).

Jerome Park is unlike any other Bronx neighborhood we serve because of three extraordinarily distinctive features that don’t coexist anywhere else in the city. First: the JEROME PARK RESERVOIR — the 94-acre, two-mile-circumference, 773-million-gallon body of water that holds 10 to 30 percent of New York City’s entire water supply, completed in 1906 as the receiving terminus of the New Croton Aqueduct, surrounded by elegantly crafted classical balustrades and iron fences, and serving as the LAST RESERVOIR on the aqueduct before water emerges from city faucets. Security is so important that the reservoir perimeter has only been opened to the public for limited “reservoir walks” on rare community open days since a 2015 DEP pilot program. Second: the historical depth is unique — named for Leonard Walter Jerome (1817-1891), the “King of Wall Street” stock speculator, principal owner of The New York Times for several years, founder of the American Academy of Music and the American Jockey Club, and the maternal grandfather of Sir Winston Churchill. The original Jerome Park Racetrack (opened September 25, 1866 by Jerome with his brothers and August Belmont, on the former 230-acre hilltop Old Bathgate Estate) was the site of the inaugural Belmont Stakes in 1867 — one of the three races now constituting the Triple Crown. The track survived until 1890/1894 before NYC condemned it for the reservoir, and Jerome went on to serve as president of the successor Morris Park Racecourse (1889, in Indian Village). Third: the “Education Mile” concentration is unmatched — the extraordinary cluster of public educational institutions surrounding the reservoir, stretching from Reservoir Avenue along Goulden Avenue to Mosholu Parkway South, including Lehman College (CUNY senior college, originally Hunter College’s Bronx campus 1931 with 9 Collegiate Gothic buildings designed though only 4 completed by 1934, where during WWII the buildings were leased to the Navy to train 81,000 women in the WAVES — the largest women’s training site in the U.S. — and where the UN Security Council held its first sessions in the gymnasium from March to August 1946); DeWitt Clinton High School (opened 1897 in Greenwich Village as Boys High School, moved to Bronx 1929, with 12,000 students said to be the largest high school in the world in 1934, all-boys until 1983); Bronx High School of Science (moved to present campus March 1959, A-plus Niche rating); Walton High School / Walton Campus; High School for American Studies; and PS 95 Sheila Mencher (elementary). Add the Kingsbridge Armory at the southern edge (built 1912-17 on the site of the razed Bathgate home, reputedly the world’s largest armory, with NYC’s finest brick facades, offered to the UN as a temporary meeting place in 1996), the Tracey Towers (1970s 41-story complex) and Scott Tower apartments built over the Concourse and Jerome Subway Yards, the 2,310-seat Lehman Center for the Performing Arts and 500-seat Lovinger Theatre, and the Mosholu Parkway greenway (part of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.’s “great necklace of parks”), and Jerome Park produces buzzer-repair calls dominated by reservoir-adjacent + Education-Mile institutional + prewar Art Deco apartment + postwar high-rise complexity unlike anywhere else.
The institutional adjacency to five major educational institutions surrounding the reservoir (Lehman College, DeWitt Clinton High School, Bronx High School of Science, Walton High School/Campus, High School for American Studies) plus PS 95 Sheila Mencher elementary requires institutional-grade access control coordination workflows: HID, Genetec, S2 Security card-reader systems, faculty/staff entry, student credential systems, after-hours building access, and capital-program scheduling. The Lehman College Collegiate Gothic buildings (1931, originally Hunter College’s Bronx campus, with 9 buildings designed but only 4 completed by 1934, plus the WWII WAVES training history and 1946 UN Security Council sessions in the gymnasium) require preservation-conscious wiring work behind original 1930s plaster walls and stone interior detailing. The Tracey Towers 41-story 1970s apartment complex and Scott Tower built over the Concourse Subway Yards have vertical-circulation lobby panels with elevator-coordinated capital project workflows. 3201 Grand Concourse (architect Martin Lowenfish, 1963 6-story 78-unit condominium) and 3131 Grand Concourse (1955 12-story 113-unit) are mid-century postwar mid-rise condominiums with their own condominium board coordination workflows. The prewar Art Deco and Tudor Revival apartment building stock along the Grand Concourse and Mosholu Parkway has original 1910s-1930s low-voltage wiring with selective late-20th-century revitalization-wave retrofits. The 4 train Mosholu Parkway and Bedford Park Boulevard - Lehman College stations on the IRT Jerome Avenue Line elevated structure plus the B/D Bedford Park Boulevard station on the IND Concourse Line generate continuous student commuter foot traffic past the surrounding lobby panels during morning and evening rush hours and academic-calendar peak periods. Bx9, Bx10, and other buses serve the corridor. The Jerome Park Library, Lehman Center for the Performing Arts (2,310-seat), and Kingsbridge Heights Community Center generate cultural-event-day pedestrian foot traffic.
Five distinct construction eras require five distinct repair approaches in Jerome Park. Late-19th-century racetrack-worker housing (1860s-1890s): the small Villa Avenue houses originally modeled after an English village to house workers at the Jerome Park Racetrack. Original wired bell systems with selective late-20th-century rewiring. Prewar Art Deco and Tudor Revival apartment buildings (1910s-1930s): the dominant stock along the Grand Concourse, Mosholu Parkway, and Goulden Avenue corridors. Original Lee Dan, M&S, or Nutone hardware with 1980s-1990s revitalization-wave retrofits. Common failures: corroded copper wiring through plaster walls behind original Art Deco interior detailing. Lehman College Collegiate Gothic institutional buildings (1931-1934): the 4 completed buildings of the originally-9-building Collegiate Gothic plan, with the additions made during the WWII WAVES training era and the postwar Lehman College build-out. Institutional access control with HID, Genetec, or S2 Security platforms. Postwar mid-rise condominium and apartment buildings (1955-1963): 3131 Grand Concourse (1955, 12-story, 113 units) and 3201 Grand Concourse (1963, architect Martin Lowenfish, 6-story, 78 units). Lee Dan, M&S, or TekTone hardware with selective post-2000 upgrades. Condominium board coordination required for any common-area work. 1970s high-rise complexes built over subway yards: Tracey Towers (1970s 41-story complex) and Scott Tower built over the Concourse and Jerome Subway Yards. Vertical-circulation lobby panels with elevator-coordinated capital project workflows. Bronx High School of Science 1959 + DeWitt Clinton 1929 institutional buildings: dedicated institutional access control, student credential systems, after-hours building access. Our technicians know each era and bring the right parts on every truck.
