3241 Perry Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3241 Perry Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1925 in the Norwood neighborhood, currently owned by Filja Ujkic. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed about the entire building suffering from inadequate heating and hot water, though many of these were resolved upon follow-up inspections. The most recent maintenance concerns involve a slow water leak reported in May 2025 (currently noted as closed), and an open paint/plaster issue reported in June 2025.

Significant safety and maintenance violations were documented, particularly in 2023-2024, affecting apartment 2A (February 2024) and the basement apartment (November 2023). These included missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door hardware issues, and a problematic double-cylinder locking device in 2A. The basement apartment reportedly had both pest infestations (roaches, mice) documented in late 2023, along with fire safety concerns regarding window gates.

The building's entrance door was found to have defective wire glass in November 2024, though this violation was subsequently addressed. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), and rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2018 through 2025, indicating effective pest management. Recent complaints about unauthorized smoking in smoke-free areas and various heating/hot water issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, while multiple violations requiring repairs or replacements of safety equipment (including alarms and door mechanisms) indicate areas needing continued oversight, though some issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent inspections.
