3130 Perry Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3130 Perry Avenue is a 7-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1925 located in Bronx's Norwood neighborhood, currently owned by Mus Mulaj. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2024, with multiple complaints across different apartments and the entire building being reported and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Most recently, an emergency heat/hot water complaint was received and addressed in January 2025. The building is also facing several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as a 2024 violation.

The building has undergone various maintenance inspections and received several Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations that require attention. Apartment 1B was found to have both mice infestation and hot water issues (exceeding 130 degrees) in December 2024, and violations from 2021 in Apartment 3B include multiple plumbing issues and missing/defective window guards, though some of these have been marked as closed. The property has had mixed results in rodent inspections, experiencing rat activity in 2021 and 2022, though recent inspections from 2023-2025 have passed. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status according to the most recent reports, the persistent heat/hot water issues, multiple maintenance violations, and historical rodent problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the building. The data shows a significant pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with at least 11 such incidents reported between November 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

There are also multiple complaints regarding janitorial/superintendent services throughout late 2024, with HPD inspections finding no violations of housing laws. The building's age and classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it may be subject to specific regulatory requirements that older residential buildings are subject to, including certain maintenance and inspection obligations. The property's inspection history shows periods of both compliance and violation, indicating fluctuating maintenance conditions. While recent years have shown improvements in some areas, such as passing rodent inspections, the recurring heat and hot water issues and multiple active violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance practices. The building's management appears to address most complaints promptly, with many being resolved within days of reporting, though some violations and issues remain outstanding as of 2025.
