4533 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

4533 3rd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Belmont, built in 1900 and currently owned by Steve Zervoudis. The building has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October and December 2023 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific problems. While some complaints were duplicates of others, there was at least one instance in November 2023 where violations were issued.

Apartment 4 has been the primary focus of multiple violation notices, including problems with heat supply, various floor tile defects, and pest infestations, though these violations have been certified as corrected as of December 2023, except for a lead paint hazard which remains open. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring concern, with active violations current as of 2023 for failure to file annual boiler inspection reports dating back to 2018-2021. A notable boiler-related complaint from 2022 regarding defective equipment resulted in an Oath Violation.

Despite these ongoing issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted every six months from June 2019 through June 2025, suggesting effective pest control management. The most recent bedbug reports for 2022-2024 show no infestations. While the building has maintained some regulatory compliance in areas such as rodent control and bedbug management, the recurring heat and hot water issues, along with active boiler inspection violations, indicate ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance and compliance.
