3060 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The three-story, four-unit building at 3060 3rd Avenue in Longwood, currently owned by Mufid Dawani, has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a period of maintenance and safety concerns in 2023. Between August and September 2023, the building faced multiple emergency complaints involving water supply issues, cooking gas problems, and heat/hot water concerns, though these were subsequently addressed with no violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More seriously, in August 2023, the building suffered from fire damage affecting all four apartments (2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B), leading to active Class C violations requiring the abatement of this nuisance.

The building has an established history of compliance issues that require attention, including three active violations from June 2023 regarding the failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2020 and 2021, and an open violation from April 2024 concerning the failure to file the annual bedbug report. Recent inspections in 2023 from both HPD and the Department of Buildings have noted rodent control compliance failures, which is concerning given the building's historical patterns. However, the property has shown some positive history, with bedbug eradication efforts successfully completed in 2020-2021, and earlier inspections demonstrating compliance with rodent control requirements.

The building's history also includes a 2020 Environmental Control Board violation regarding illegal occupancy on the first floor, which was resolved with a $1,250 penalty. The most recent building inspection records (2024-2025) show ongoing concerns with building maintenance and safety systems, including a recently partially rescinded stop work order in June 2025 related to construction safety compliance. While the property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past few years, many have been promptly addressed without resulting in formal violations, though the pattern of recurring plumbing and heating issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The current status of several open violations related to fire damage, bedbug reporting, and external inspections as of mid-2025 indicates some unresolved compliance issues that have persisted over multiple reporting periods.
