3563 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The building at 3563 Bainbridge Avenue in Norwood, owned by Nok Balaj, is a 6-story, 55-unit Class A structure built in 1966. Recent concerns include multiple unresolved issues from June 2025, where HPD attempted but failed to complete inspections related to flooring, mold, pest problems, and window maintenance.

Earlier in 2025, there were two significant incidents involving loss of heat and hot water, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though these were reportedly resolved before inspection confirmation. The building has experienced persistent pest control challenges, with multiple rodent activity reports and bait applications recorded between 2025 and 2024, including recent inspections in May 2025 showing active rodent presence requiring bait application. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues in apartment 2B, which was the focus of several violations in 2024, including pest infestation (roach), mold, wall damage, and various repair needs.

There are also current active complaints regarding elevator service from January 2025. While the building shows regular bedbug reporting compliance with no infested units reported in the past four cycles (2021-2025), the property has accumulated active Department of Buildings violations related to displaying energy efficiency scores and grades since 2020-2021. Recent HPD inspections from 2024-2025 have shown a pattern of mold, pest, and maintenance issues, particularly in the building's common areas and individual units, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
