3565 Dekalb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 12-unit residential building at 3565 Dekalb Avenue in Norwood, owned by Abraham Biller, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since opening. Most notably, there is an active rodent infestation problem, with multiple reports from 2024 through 2025 showing rat activity and the need for bait applications, though a recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "passed" compliance status. The building has faced recurring electrical issues, including multiple reports of no lighting in mid-2024 and currently an open power outage complaint from June 2025.

There are also concerns about garbage management, with recent complaints in September 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas that inspectors could not access. Of particular importance is the building's failure to comply with mandatory refuse compaction system requirements. The building has received multiple violations related to this issue, with the most recent in November 2024 showing penalties totaling $37,500 for failure to provide an operable refuse compaction system as required by Building Code BC 1213.2.

The Department of Buildings has issued violations regarding construction work and equipment compliance, including a November 2024 "Failure to Maintain" violation. While the building's records show no bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), the property has experienced various other maintenance issues since opening, including door problems, water leaks, and pest management concerns. The building, which was completed with multiple permits in 2021, continues to be subject to ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges as of mid-2025.
