3064 Bailey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 31-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 3064 Bailey Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Joseph Edelman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2024-2025). Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, with three emergency complaints logged between March and June 2025. The building has also faced recurring plumbing issues, including problems with sinks and radiators earlier in 2025. In summer 2024, there were documented problems with water leaks, window frames, and pest infestations, particularly in apartment 2, which received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for issues ranging from pest control to maintenance of self-closing doors and trip hazards from cracked vinyl floor tiles.

The building's recent history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, with emergency service requests suggesting ongoing concerns with basic services. Multiple violations were issued in 2024 relating to fire safety and housing maintenance code requirements, though some have been subsequently certified as corrected. The property has a record of utility compliance issues, with three separate violations for failure to file benchmarking reports of energy use between 2019 and 2020, though these were ultimately dismissed. On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2018, with no infestations reported in the past seven filing periods.

Rodent inspections from 2013-2018 showed occasional rat activity, but the most recent inspection result from 2018 indicates improved conditions. The building's age (constructed in 1914) and history of maintenance issues suggest a property that requires ongoing attention to basic infrastructure systems. The most pressing recent concerns relate to heating systems and plumbing, though many complaints have been addressed through the municipal inspection process. Regular monitoring of building systems and prompt reporting of persistent issues would be advisable based on this historical pattern.
