3070 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 5-story, 39-unit building at 3070 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by 62 Realty LLC, has a history of recurring heat and hot water issues that peaked during the winter months of 2024, with eight emergency complaints filed between February and March 2024. The property, built in 1923, has several open violations as of December 2023, including issues with brick and mortar joints on the north side (5th story), and multiple safety concerns in Apartment 3B, such as non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a problematic fire escape door lock.

While the building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting, showing zero infestation cases from 2019 to 2025, it has experienced rat activity in multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2020, though recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 passed without issues. The building's maintenance history shows attention to emergency repairs, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with HPD frequently intervening and closing out complaints after verifying corrections.

There are several active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 regarding egress issues, building maintenance concerns, and failure to maintain proper construction permits. Recent inspections in 2024 have shown improvement in pest control, with the most recent rodent inspection passing. The building's history of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems and safety features, though recent years show some stabilization in bedbug issues and rodent control compliance.
