3520 Dekalb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 48-unit, 6-story building at 3520 Dekalb Avenue in Norwood, owned by Jacob Eisenstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues and resident complaints since 2023. Most notably, there have been persistent elevator service problems, with multiple complaints filed between January 2023 and July 2024 regarding lack of alternate service and cease use violations, culminating in a $1,250 penalty in February 2023 for door restrictor alteration and unintended movement issues. The building has also faced multiple heating system challenges, particularly in early 2025, with complaints about heat and hot water affecting the entire building in January and February, though these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including multiple door-related issues, water leaks, and problems with flooring and ceiling conditions. In March 2025 alone, there were multiple violations issued regarding floors, ceilings, and water leaks. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2025 recording rat activity, though baiting efforts have been documented.

While there have been some environmental violations in the past, such as issues with garbage accumulation and fire retardant materials in mid-2024, these were certified as corrected. The building's bedbug reports from 2018-2025 show minimal infestations, with only two units affected in 2018 and none since then. The property currently has an active violation regarding the display of energy efficiency scores and grades, as of December 2021.
