3520 Tryon Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3520 Tryon Avenue is a 64-unit, 6-story residential building in Norwood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Laurette Valdez. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with five documented complaints between 2022 and 2024, though most were resolved after inspection. There have been multiple complaints regarding window frame conditions, particularly in late 2024, resulting in multiple inspection attempts by HPD, though access could not be gained during inspections.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several reporting periods, with no reported infestations since at least 2019. However, there are outstanding obligations related to building safety and maintenance, including three active violations related to the failure to file necessary benchmarking and inspection reports (including FISP Cycle 9A report and energy use benchmarking), which were not resolved as of 2024. Recent health and safety inspections show an ongoing rat activity problem, with multiple inspections in 2025 continuing to show evidence of rodent presence, though some inspections from previous years have passed.

The building has also faced several regulatory challenges, including two failures to submit required critical examination reports of exterior walls (2018 and 2022) resulting in monetary penalties, and various safety violation notices regarding missing required postings related to gas leaks, fire safety, and building-specific notices. The property has experienced periodic sanitation concerns, most recently in 2025 with a DOHMH inspection regarding pigeon waste, though no violations were found. The building's management has historically struggled with access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024 where inspectors could not gain access to perform required evaluations.
