January 12, 2021:   In light of the continuing situation surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, our primary concern is the well-being and health of our residents and our staff who, as essential workers, serve the needs of our residents as well as the extended South Bronx community.

We are constantly monitoring the updates from the NYC Departments of Health and we are following the City’s recommend steps to ensure that what we do helps limit the spread of this virus. As a result, Banana Kelly’s main office is closed, however our staff remain available via phone by calling our main number 718-328-1064 and dialing their extension.  Staff can be reached also by individual email or through info@bkcianyc.org. 

Because of the continued COVID health crisis and the uncertainty it poses to our ability to consistently have open business hours, we encourage residents to use the following options to make monthly rent payments.

1. If your management agency is Wavecrest Management Team, send your payment using the return envelope included with your monthly invoice. Or you are able to drop off/send your rent payment to Banana Kelly (see number 3 below)
2. If your management agency is Dougert Management, follow their payment instructions listed on their monthly statement.
3. If Banana Kelly Community Improvement is your management agency send your rent payment to us at: 863 Prospect Avenue Bronx, NY 10459

Please include your name, address and email address and we will send you a receipt.

4. Use the On line payment portal. Both Wavecrest and Banana Kelly have on line payment portals: Wavecrest:
