3409 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 3409 3rd Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Abraham Robenzadeh, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most recently, in May 2025, there were emergency complaints regarding sprinkler system problems and a power outage, though HPD was unable to complete inspections of these issues.

The building has faced multiple water-related concerns, including a heavy water leak complaint in January 2025 that resulted in violations, and historical rodent infestations in 2020 that prompted multiple service requests due to access issues. Other notable violations include problems with heating and hot water systems, electrical appliances, and general maintenance issues. The building has a documented history of facade maintenance challenges, with several violations issued in 2020 and 2021 regarding disrepair of exterior walls, including cracked bricks and deteriorated mortar joints.

These facade issues led to a Commissioner’s Order in January 2021 requiring repairs under permit by May 2021, though compliance was delayed and resulted in additional violations until repairs were finally completed under permit X01055425, issued on May 29, 2024. The property has also experienced inspection access issues, as seen in complaints regarding the bell/intercom system in November 2024 and pest control in May 2020. While many historical violations have been dismissed, including several immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations related to various maintenance issues between 2020 and 2022, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance and safety concerns, particularly related to its fire safety systems and basic utilities.
