2779 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

The three-story, two-family house at 2779 3rd Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Joel Reisman, is a 1910 building that has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding unit conditions, including heat and hot water problems, electrical issues with outlets and switches, and concerns about an electric/gas range.

These complaints were designated as either emergency or non-emergency situations, but the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, resulting in the case closures with an advisory to refile if problems persisted. A similar situation occurred in April 2019 concerning water supply issues, where HPD also could not gain access for inspection.

These service request patterns suggest challenges with maintenance access and potential recurring issues, though no recent complaints have been filed as of October 2023. On a positive note, the building has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2012, suggesting good pest control practices during those years. While the documented complaints raise concerns about building maintenance and resident experience, it's important to note that there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the past three years (as of October 2023), which could indicate either improved conditions or a lack of reported issues during this period.
