3097 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The 85-unit, 7-story residential building at 3097 3rd Avenue in Melrose, owned by Adam Weinstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most recently, there are multiple open complaints regarding door/window issues as of June 2025, with several similar complaints filed throughout 2025. The building has also faced periodic heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in April 2025 affecting the entire building, though these were subsequently closed after verification of corrections.

Between 2023 and 2024, there were documented rodent activity issues, with inspections in 2023 showing both "Rat Activity" and "Bait applied". The building's elevator system has been a notable concern, with multiple complaints and violations recorded in 2018-2021, including a Class 1 violation in 2021 for an out-of-service condition that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of building-wide issues, though some sectors have shown improvement over time.

For instance, while there were pest issues reported in 2019, more recent bedbug reports from 2019-2024 indicate no active infestations. The building has undergone various inspections and received violations related to its elevator system (2018-2021), door issues (2025), heating systems (2025), and more general maintenance concerns. The facade inspection conducted in 2021 resulted in an "Unsafe" notification, and there have been multiple violations related to failure to correct immediately hazardous conditions, though many of these were later dismissed or resolved. The most recent maintenance records indicate ongoing door/window issues requiring attention, with multiple open complaints as of mid-2025, suggesting persistent challenges with building maintenance and response to repair needs.
