3216 Kossuth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3216 Kossuth Avenue, a 5-story, 35-unit residential building in Norwood constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with six separate complaints between February and March, most recently in late March 2025. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024 and early 2025, particularly affecting Apartment 2D, which required repairs to various issues including water leaks, electrical fixtures, and interior surfaces.

The Department of Buildings records show several active violations related to energy benchmarking and efficiency reporting between 2020 and 2023, including a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. Despite these ongoing issues, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, and recent rodent inspections have shown generally passing results, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 passing.

The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, with several being certified as corrected by January 2025, including repairs to the bathroom door, floor, ceiling, and various electrical issues in Apartment 2D. While the recent rodent inspection results are encouraging, the persistent heat and hot water issues in 2025 and the backlog of energy-related violations suggest ongoing property management challenges.
