3194 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 3194 3rd Avenue in Longwood, owned by Edwin Dominguez and dating back to 1910, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with pest control, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests filed between 2023 and 2024, though inspection access was often not granted.

Recent complaints from October 2024 regarding cabinets, unsanitary conditions, and wall issues were similarly not fully investigated due to access issues. The building faces several open violations as of October 2024, including maintenance concerns in apartment 2F such as paint conditions, broken countertop, leaky faucets, and electrical issues. The property has a significant history of rodent activity, with inspections between 2021 and 2023 consistently reporting rat presence, though some earlier inspections in 2017 and 2018 showed passing results.

The building has experienced structural stability concerns, with complaints about vibrations recorded in 2021, and has a series of outstanding Environmental Control Board violations related to work without a permit from 2021, with one active violation carrying a $25,000 penalty. There are multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file External Low Pressure inspections dating back to 2018 through 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly for recent complaints, and a persistent need for repair and maintenance work across various building systems, including electrical, plumbing, and structural elements.
