3042 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451
The 12-unit, 5-story building at 3042 3rd Avenue in Longwood, owned by Lam Nguyen, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns about heating systems, with multiple HPD complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments between January 2023 and 2025. The building is currently facing pest challenges, with open complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests filed in March 2025 and a rodent violation issued in February 2024 for Apartment 4B, which remains open as of 2024.
The property has also experienced infrastructure issues, including heating system violations, window problems, and door maintenance needs. A series of HPD complaints regarding heat and hot water issues occurred throughout 2022-2025, with some being marked as emergency cases. More historical concerns include violations regarding the building's exterior maintenance in 2018, which involved defective concrete window trims, and boiler-related violations from 2019, including issues with registration and installation.
The building's management has demonstrated some capacity to address issues when violations are documented, as evidenced by multiple closed complaints, though several open violations persist as of 2025. Notably, despite previous pest and rodent issues, recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 show no documented infestations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results between 2012 and 2024, including both passed inspections and instances of rat activity. Recent bedbug reporting periods (2021-2025) show consistent reporting of zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting improved pest management in that regard, though other pest and heating system challenges persist.
