3052 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 3052 3rd Avenue in Longwood, owned by Salomon Cojab and constructed in 1925, is currently experiencing an open electrical wiring issue as of March 2025, representing the most significant current concern. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges over the past few years, with particular issues related to unsanitary conditions and pest control. In 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding pests, garbage/recycling storage, plumbing (sink issues), wall conditions, and flooring problems, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

The property also faced a heat and hot water emergency in January 2023, but HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Three open Housing Maintenance Code violations remain from August 2023, notably including issues with roach infestations, missing building registration signs, and lack of posted heating system information in the first-story public hall. The building's documented history shows some improvement in pest management, with official reports from 2024 and 2023 indicating no current infestations.

Rodent inspections have generally been successful, with the most recent inspection in March 2024 failing for "Other Reasons," though specific details were not provided. Earlier inspections between 2009 and 2012 consistently passed, suggesting improved pest control measures. The building's maintenance record shows various historical issues being addressed, including past problems with lighting, garbage disposal, and bedbug infestations in specific units, though these have been resolved according to violation certification dates. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, showing no documented infestations during the specified reporting periods.
