3572 Dekalb Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3572 Dekalb Avenue is a 6-story, 70-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Dekalb 3572 LLC. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during 2025, with multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions, including persistent pest problems and rodent activity. Notable recent incidents include four separate pest-related complaints in May-June 2025, with at least one resulting in violations, and a heavy water leak complaint in June 2025 that was classified as an emergency.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service dating back to 2022-2024, though inspections found no violations. There have also been several concerning maintenance issues documented in 2024-2025, including electrical problems (no lighting, outlet/switch issues), bathroom and kitchen maintenance needs in apartment 3L, and multiple instances of rodent activity requiring bait application. The Department of Buildings has active violations related to concrete issues on the roof (established in 2022), and historical data shows recurring problems with elevator service between 2019 and 2022.

The building has shown some bedbug activity, with two infested units reported in 2020-2021, though subsequent filings from 2021-2025 show no further infestations. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate continued challenges with pest control, as evidenced by multiple "Rat Activity" reports. The property has also faced various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors, interior surfaces, and sanitary conditions, particularly in apartment 3L. While many of these violations have been closed after required corrections, the high frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
