3210 Perry Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The five-story, 54-unit building at 3210 Perry Avenue in Norwood, owned by Yechiel Weinberger, has been experiencing persistent and serious maintenance issues throughout 2025. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem, with multiple rat sighting reports and inspections from May through July 2025 consistently showing evidence of rat activity. The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with three separate HPD complaints in June 2025 regarding water leaks, ceiling problems, and unsanitary mold conditions.

Additionally, there are multiple open maintenance code complaints from June 2025 involving electrical issues (including non-functioning lighting), flooring concerns, window frame problems, and paint/plaster defects. Historical records indicate that the building has struggled with various compliance issues over the past few years. In 2024, there were violations related to building safety and maintenance, including illegal gas line installations and exterior disrepair.

The Department of Buildings has documented concerns about illegal living conversions, particularly in 2021 when several violations were issued for unauthorized unit modifications, though some of these complaints have since been resolved. The building's owner has multiple open violations related to energy efficiency requirements, with charges dating back to 2019-2022 for failing to submit required reports and display energy scores. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record for the past five years, the current rodent infestation and other maintenance issues represent serious ongoing challenges for residents.
