4278 3rd Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 8-story, 97-unit apartment building at 4278 3rd Avenue in Tremont, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Michael Wadman, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with emergency incidents recorded in January and December 2024, though inspections did not find violations in some cases. The building has also faced plumbing issues, including problems with sinks, showers, and baths between 2022 and 2024.

Recent concerns include an open complaint from June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and an active investigation as of October 2024 regarding construction lead dust in common areas. The property has seen some pest-related challenges, with violations recorded in late 2024 for an infestation of roaches in apartment 1G, and multiple infestations in apartment 6L documented in August 2023. The building's maintenance record shows attention to environmental compliance, though there was a FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report filing violation noted in February 2024. The building's management has generally addressed violations once cited, as evidenced by the closure of various citations, including those related to hot water issues in apartment 1C (2024), bathroom ceiling paint in 5H (2024), and bathtub repairs in 3N (2023).

The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections, with recent inspections in 2025 showing no significant violations for egress or elevator issues. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past four years, with zero reported infestations since 2019. Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, though some inspections in 2023 showed "Rat Activity" before passing subsequent inspections. The property has also faced some administrative violations, including a penalty in 2018 related to failure to comply with a Commissioner's order, though this was resolved.
