3058 Bailey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 9-unit, 4-story tenement at 3058 Bailey Avenue in Kingsbridge, built in 1911, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a building-wide heat and hot water emergency in January 2022, though tenants reported that services were restored shortly thereafter.

The building has had recurring issues with apartment safety systems, particularly in Apartment 4S, which currently has an open Class C violation from February 2024 regarding defective self-closing door hinges. Previous inspections in 2021 revealed multiple safety equipment violations in both Apartments 4S and 1N, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were ultimately resolved. Historical maintenance issues include problems with interior walls (plaster and paint), and bathroom plumbing fixtures, though these were addressed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) system.

The property has shown consistent attention to pest control and basic maintenance, with all bedbug inspections between 2019 and 2024 reporting zero infested units, and passed rodent inspections from 2013 through 2018 indicating no significant rodent issues. While a 2019 renovation permit was issued for work on the property, indicating ongoing maintenance efforts, the most recent open violation regarding door hardware safety in 2024 highlights that some maintenance issues remain unresolved. The building's maintenance history demonstrates varying response times to issues, with some problems being addressed promptly while others have required multiple inspections and follow-ups before resolution.
