3515 Rochambeau Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 6-story, 36-unit building at 3515 Rochambeau Avenue in Norwood, owned by Rick Herman, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly in 2025. The most pressing current issues include mold problems (reported in June 2025), multiple unsanitary conditions (including pest infestations in May 2025), and floor maintenance concerns. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with three separate emergency complaints in January 2025.

While there have been several door-related issues reported between May and June 2025, HPD inspections determined that some of these did not violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing pest control efforts, with documented rodent activity in 2023-2024 and multiple bait applications. Apartment 2B has notable violations from September 2024, including issues with mice infestation, window frame damage, and inoperable safety devices (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector), though some violations have been subsequently certified as corrected.

There are also infrastructure concerns, including a broken cabinet in Apartment 2B and plaster/paint issues, as well as a more recent paint/plaster complaint from June 2025. The building's compliance with energy efficiency requirements has been inconsistent, with an active violation from 2021 regarding failure to display energy scores. While there was one instance of roach infestation reported in 2023 (Apartment 1C), the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the most recent reporting period (2024-2025).
