3424 Gates Place, Bronx, NY 10467

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 3424 Gates Place in Norwood, owned by Renewal Realty Corp and constructed in 1928, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water leaks, mold, and plumbing issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple HPD complaints and violations related to these conditions. Between March 2024 and June 2025, there were five documented instances of water leaks (including heavy flow and slow leaks), three reports of mold, and several plumbing issues, particularly involving bathtubs/showers.

The building has also faced significant elevator-related challenges, with multiple complaints between 2020 and 2023 regarding inoperable or improperly maintained devices, resulting in various violations and penalties totaling $1,250. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 showed some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years, though there was one confirmed case in 2022-2023. The property has a mix of resolved and unresolved violations, including open Class B violations related to mold conditions in Apartment 1G from August 2024.

Historical data shows a pattern of water-related issues, building system maintenance concerns, and occasional pest problems, though recent rodent inspections (2024) have shown improved conditions with passed results. The building's elevator and water infrastructure appear to be ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the frequency of related complaints and violations. While there have been periodic improvements and resolutions to various violations, the recurrence of similar issues suggests continued attention may be required to maintain acceptable living conditions.
