2952 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2952 Marion Avenue is a 5-story New Law Tenement building in Norwood, containing 53 units and built in 1924, currently owned by Jose Nuesi. The building has experienced significant heating system issues in early 2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints (February 19-24, 2025) affecting the entire building and requiring HPD inspections. The building's maintenance record shows persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat presence, though some inspections from 2024 also recorded bait application.

HPD violations from December 2024 reveal multiple safety concerns, including a missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in apartment 32B, as well as inadequate heat supply in both apartment 32B (third floor) and 23B (second floor). Additional violations were noted for pest infestation and flooring issues in apartment 23B, along with a locked heating system access door violation. The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 violation for inadequate hot water service in apartment 23B.

While the building has maintained a zero-reporting status for bedbugs in the last three years, the presence of rat activity has been consistently documented through rodent inspections. Two complaints regarding unauthorized after-hours work were filed, one in 2021 and another in 2023, though neither resulted in violations according to inspection reports. The building's records indicate compliance with certain codes, as seen in closed violations from January 2025, but the recurring nature of heating system issues and rodent activity suggests persistent maintenance challenges. A permit for exterior work was issued in August 2023, indicating some level of ongoing building maintenance activity.
