3206 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The 6-unit, 4-story tenement building at 3206 3rd Avenue in Longwood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Andi Mustafaj, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most concerning recent events include multiple heat and hot water outages in December 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, for which violations were issued. The property has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with inspections confirming rodent activity in late 2023 through 2025 despite regular bait application.

Multiple violations related to building safety have been documented, including broken window guards and plumbing issues. A cluster of complaints and violations in November-December 2024 focused on various maintenance problems in Apartment 2S, including heating system defects, electrical issues, and pest infestations. From an administrative perspective, the building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024, including failure to maintain fire stopping between floors, collapsed ceiling sections with active leaks, and storage of items obstructing exit passages.

There are also several pending ECB violations related to the failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions, along with historical complaints about egress issues and structural stability concerns. The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in recent months, with the most recent inspections in 2025 noting the application of bait in response to rodent issues. However, multiple active violations and the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
