3213 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

3213 3rd Avenue is an 11-story, 131-unit residential building constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Peter Fine. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months (June 2025), with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including pests and plumbing problems. A significant concentration of the recent complaints, all filed in June 2025, involve plumbing issues (toilets, sinks), pest infestations, and other general maintenance concerns, with violations being issued in some cases.

Earlier violations from 2024 included mold issues, ventilation system problems, and appliance concerns. The building has a documented history of infrastructure challenges, including multiple elevator-related complaints between 2021 and 2025, with some resulting in Oath Violations. Earlier inspections revealed facade maintenance issues, particularly in 2019-2020, including cracked/displaced bricks and damaged mortar joints, though these violations have since been resolved.

The property's maintenance history shows periodic infestations of bedbugs, with the most recent report (2023) indicating one affected unit, though previously eradicated. Recent rodent activity has been consistently documented through inspections, with reports of rat activity as recently as June 2025. The building has undergone various repairs and maintenance work over the years, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances, though recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The most recent inspection data shows a pattern of plumbing, pest control, and general maintenance issues requiring attention, with some violations remaining unresolved or requiring court intervention as of mid-2025.
