3800 Putnam Avenue West, Bronx, NY 10463

The 44-unit, 7-story building at 3800 Putnam Avenue West in Kingsbridge, owned by Steve Zervoudis, has experienced significant heating and hot water system challenges in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and April 2025 regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building. Several inspections were conducted by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some violations issued and instances where inspectors could not gain access to verify conditions. The building's infrastructure has encountered ongoing elevator issues, with multiple complaints about lack of alternate service between 2019 and 2025, including two active complaints from March 2025.

Additionally, there is an active violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report by February 2024. Building maintenance concerns are documented in multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations. These include various repair needs in Apartment 6G (roof leak, plastering, and painting issues) and Apartment 2D (electrical outlets and window repairs) as of late 2024.

The building has a history of exterior wall inspection requirement non-compliance, with penalties imposed in 2018-2020 for failure to submit required reports. While the building experienced bedbug incidents in 2018, there have been no reported infestations in the past four years (2019-2025). Rodent inspections between 2013 and 2018 show generally successful compliance, with only one failure noted in 2017. Recent inspections in 2024 also documented door closure issues in stairway and refuse room doors that have since been resolved.
