3180B Villa Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 3180B Villa Avenue in Norwood, owned by Luis Salcedo and constructed in 2004, has experienced several notable maintenance events over recent years. The building faced a heat and hot water emergency in January 2021 that required HPD intervention, though residents reported the issue was subsequently resolved.

More recently, in March 2023, a bedbug reporting violation was issued due to failure to file the required annual report, though this seems to have been resolved as subsequent filings show no infestations or eradications across all units for the reporting periods up to October 2024. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2017, with passing results recorded through most of 2022 and early 2023. However, there has been a noticeable pattern of rat activity in 2024, with two inspections (July and September 2024) indicating rodent presence, and bait application noted in October 2024.

The most recent inspection in March 2025 also involved bait application. The building's rodent control issues appear to be the most pressing current maintenance challenge, particularly given the recurring nature of the inspections and the documented rat activity from July 2024 onwards. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, the rodent situation suggests ongoing challenges with pest management systems despite the building's generally good maintenance history since its construction.
