3265 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The five-story, 51-unit building at 3265 Bainbridge Avenue in Norwood, built in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, a cluster of safety concerns emerged in March 2025, including violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards, with some requiring urgent attention. Water-related problems have also been persistent, with a heavy flow water leak reported in July 2024 and a history of water issues dating back several years.

The building has faced ventilation and air quality concerns, as evidenced by inspections and violations related to safety equipment. Notable events from 2022 included multiple heat and hot water complaints, some involving the entire building, though some were resolved after inspections. The property has undergone several inspections and reported minimal pest issues, with no documented bedbug infestations in recent filings from 2021 onward.

However, rodent activity has been a recurring concern, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections have shown improvements with bait being applied. The building has undergone necessary safety inspections, including lead paint hazard compliance checks in multiple apartments in March 2021, and a recent energy efficiency violation was dismissed in early 2025. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained regular reporting requirements for bedbugs, consistently showing zero infested units over the past several years, and has addressed various maintenance issues as they arise through appropriate channels.
