3030 Valentine Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

3030 Valentine Avenue is a 5-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building located in Norwood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Gzim Celaj. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2025, including multiple plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers, wall paint/plaster problems, and unsanitary conditions with pests, resulting in HPD violations. There were also two heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, though these were reportedly resolved promptly.

The building's violation history shows concerns with lead paint hazard compliance in 2022 affecting multiple units (D1, E1, E4, and C5), and active violations related to annual boiler and external low-pressure inspection filings from 2019 and 2023, respectively. The property has maintained an active bedbug report showing zero infestations across the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. However, a rodent inspection in May 2024 passed, following earlier inspections in 2022 that showed rat activity requiring bait application.

The building's maintenance records indicate periodic issues with building systems and infrastructure, including multiple violations related to heat and hot water systems, and concerns about self-closing doors in public areas noted in 2024. While the majority of recent HPD complaints have been resolved, several violations from 2019-2023 remain active, including failures to file required boiler and benchmarking reports. The property’s history of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to building systems and infrastructure, though many recent complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections.
