3459 Dekalb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467
The 5-story, 26-unit building at 3459 Dekalb Avenue in Norwood, owned by Isuf Selimaj, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems. Between February and April 2025 alone, there were eight documented complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with multiple instances where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was either unable to access units for inspection or verified that conditions had been corrected.
These issues were classified as emergencies and subsequently closed. Additionally, the building has persistent rodent problems, with multiple "Rat Activity" findings during inspections between 2022 and 2024, and the most recent open violations from June 2025 indicating plumbing and interior maintenance issues including problems with bathtubs/showers and wall plaster/paint. The building's historical maintenance record shows varying degrees of infestation issues, with documented bedbug cases between 2020 and 2025, though the most recent report from April 2025 shows no active infestations.
Previous violations from December 2024 were addressed and closed, including several issues in apartment 5A related to leaks, damaged plaster, and mouse infestation. There is also an open violation from September 2024 requiring attention to the building's fire escape at all stories due to rust issues. The building, constructed in 1922, is classified as a New Law Tenement and has undergone various inspections and maintenance activities over the past few years, with more recent concerns primarily focusing on heating systems, rodent control, and general maintenance of building systems.
