3105 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 55-unit, 5-story tenement building at 3105 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by Agustin Preni and built in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building in February 2025, with at least nine separate complaints being filed within a short period, all classified as emergencies.

More recent issues include complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests and problems with wall paint or plaster in April 2025, both of which resulted in HPD violations. The building has also faced some infrastructure challenges, with a defective boiler complaint in February 2025 leading to an Oath Violation, and an elevator service issue reported in March 2023, though this was eventually classified as having insufficient information. The property has shown some persistence with pest control issues, as evidenced by multiple violations in apartment 31B in September 2023 involving roach and mice infestations, though these were subsequently closed.

A comprehensive inspection of apartment 44C in March 2024 revealed several maintenance issues including problems with cabinet doors, bathroom tiles, and plumbing connections, which were certified as corrected in April 2024. While the building has had its share of problems, especially regarding heating systems and pest control, it's worth noting that no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past seven years, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has undergone separate inspections for various maintenance issues over the years, with most violations being addressed and closed, though some violations still exhibit recurring patterns such as heating system problems and pest infestations.
