In this paper, we focus on pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras. We prove that the underlying Lie algebras of pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras are 2-step nilpotent and that pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebras are 3-step nilpotent. Moreover, we construct a pseudo-Riemannian associative fermionic Novikov algebra in dimension 14, which is not a Novikov algebra. It implies that the inverse proposition of Corollary 2 in the paper "Pseudo-Riemannian Novikov algebras" [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41 (2008), 315207] does not hold.
