2970 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The six-story, 36-unit building at 2970 Marion Avenue in Norwood, owned by Paul Steinberg and constructed in 1936, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heating systems, water infrastructure, and pest control. Most notably, in late 2024, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints in November and December, and a mold-related unsanitary condition complaint in December, though inspections found no violations. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with complaints of heavy flow and slow leaks in 2018-2021, and electrical issues including a power outage in May 2023.

Two rodent-related incidents were reported in 2023, with follow-up inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in August 2024 passed. The building's maintenance record shows some infrastructure challenges requiring attention, including a 2021 violation regarding egress obstruction from fire escapes, and there were two bedbug infestations reported in 2018-2019, though subsequent inspections since 2020 show no further issues. The heating system has been a particular area of concern, with multiple complaints in late 2024.

While many service requests have been closed without violations being issued, the frequency of heat, water, and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The elevator system also required attention in 2022, with a violation related to fireman's service installation. However, it's worth noting that during most recent bedbug reporting periods, which cover 2021-2024, there have been no reported infestations, indicating effective pest management in recent years.
