3146 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

3146 Park Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Melrose, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Alana Sparrow. The property has experienced recurring issues with sewage and air quality, with the most recent complaint in August 2024 involving sewage odor that prompted a Department of Health advisory.

A cluster of complaints from November 2023 regarding sanitarian conditions, electrical wiring, and appliance issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found. The building has been under scrutiny for its failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with open violations from 2023-2024 and previous violations noted in 2022 and 2021. The building has a documented history of electrical and plumbing concerns, particularly during 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding defective wiring, unlicensed plumbing work, and work being performed without proper permits.

An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in July 2021 related to unauthorized electrical work throughout the building, resulting in an $800 penalty. Recent pest management records indicate rodent activity was present in October 2022, though earlier inspections showed consistent compliance dating back to 2010. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, many recent complaints have been addressed or closed after inspections, though the recurring infrastructure and pest control issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance.
