3758 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The five-story, 18-unit building at 3758 3rd Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Martin Dunn, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2025. Most recently, there are four active complaints from May 2025 regarding water-related problems, including multiple plumbing issues with basins/sinks and a slow water leak, as well as a ceiling paint/plaster issue. Earlier in 2024, the building faced several concerning incidents, including heat and hot water problems in both February (apartment-specific) and October (entire building) that were reportedly addressed but required follow-up inspections.

Notable violations were recorded in apartments 3D and 4C, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathtub conditions, and window safety features. The building's maintenance history shows repeated problems with essential services, including multiple complaints about heat and hot water, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions like mold. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with variable results; while recent inspections in 2022-2023 have generally shown no significant concerns, there were documented rodent activity issues during inspections in 2015 and 2021.

Encouragingly, the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past six reporting periods from 2019-2024, indicating effective pest management. Two open housing maintenance violations from 2024 remain pending resolution, specifically regarding window frame repairs and paint conditions in apartment 5A. While some emergency complaints were successfully addressed and closed in 2024, including plumbing and appliance issues, the frequency of ongoing maintenance requests suggests persistent challenges with building upkeep and infrastructure reliability.
