3430 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 11-unit, 4-story building at 3430 3rd Avenue in Morrisania, owned by Frank Gjini and completed in 2016, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water-related issues, including multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2025, water leaks in 2024 (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and various unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold. The building has documented several pest infestation complaints between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent being an open unsanitary condition for pests as of June 2025.

There are also concerning violations related to building safety and maintenance, including a December 2024 violation for defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead, and multiple violations in Apartment 3C for water leak and mold issues that require repair and abatement. Recent inspections in December 2024 resulted in several violations that were subsequently closed, including requirements to post specific building management information and maintain proper signage related to waste collection and bedbug prevention. The building's management has generally addressed violations promptly, as evidenced by most being marked as certified closed, though there are still some open violations as of 2024. The building has maintained a rodent-free status since passing an inspection in August 2022, and all reported bedbug reports since 2020 have indicated no infested units, suggesting effective management of these specific pest issues.

The building's maintenance records indicate ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding water and heat systems. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the frequency of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property appears to have complied with most regulatory requirements, though recent complaints regarding heat/hot water and the open pest issue in June 2025 indicate that some systems may still require attention. The relatively recent construction date of 2016 suggests that while the building should theoretically have modern systems, the maintenance history indicates some fundamental infrastructure challenges that have persisted through the years.
