3971 Saxon Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The two-family residential building at 3971 Saxon Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Guo Li Zhang, is a 2-story structure built in 1920. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, most notably regarding building systems and infrastructure. In 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints involving heat/hot water issues in November (which inspectors were unable to access to verify) and plumbing/water supply problems in February (inspected but no violations found).

More recently, in late 2023, there was a paint/plaster complaint regarding the ceiling that was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building has had two documented instances of bedbug reporting violations in 2021 and 2022 for not filing required annual reports, though subsequent filings in 2023-2024 show no infestations occurred during the 12-month periods. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2011 through 2023, with the most recent inspection in October 2023 showing no violations.

An active violation remains regarding an improperly sized parking pad from 2018, with a $500 penalty still due. Historical complaints include two instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during inspections in 2018 and 2019, and a 2022 heat/hot water complaint where access was not granted. While these issues indicate some maintenance challenges, many complaints have been resolved or closed without violations, suggesting responsive handling of issues when they are able to gain access.
