3009 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
The four-story, nine-unit tenement building at 3009 3rd Avenue in Melrose, built in 1905 and currently owned by David Tennenbaum, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. As of June 2025, there are multiple open complaints filed with HPD, including unsanitary garbage storage, plumbing problems affecting sinks and bathtubs, door and window frame issues, electrical outlet concerns, floor problems, and the presence of mold. These issues appear to be recent, with all complaints being filed in June 2025. The building also suffered from a power outage in November 2024, during which HPD was unable to complete an inspection.
The building has a documented history of violations and maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, particularly in apartment 1N, where there were multiple violations regarding inadequate hot water supply, heating issues, plumbing problems, and mold. Inspection records from 2024 show problems with hot water supply, leaky faucets, heating systems, and mold in apartment 1N. The property has been subject to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including water leaks affecting both the building and the commercial space (Skyline Smoke Shop) on the property. Notably, the building's rodent inspections from 2022-2024 reveal recurring rat activity, with multiple instances of failed inspections noted between March 2023 and February 2024, indicating ongoing pest management challenges.
While the bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show zero recorded infestations, the building's maintenance issues and pest problems suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident comfort. The building's documented history includes various electrical and plumbing issues, with some repairs being certified as completed in 2024, including faucet repairs and addressing mold conditions in apartment 1N. However, the persistence of open complaints as of mid-2025 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The property also has a recorded active ECB violation from December 2022 regarding a failure to file a technical report, and there are historical records of electrical wiring complaints from 2018. The pattern of violations and complaints suggests that while some issues have been addressed over time, significant maintenance problems remain unresolved as of 2025, particularly regarding plumbing, electrical systems, and general building maintenance.
