3331 Hull Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 3331 Hull Avenue in Norwood, owned by Raikell Castillo and constructed in 2005, has experienced recurring heating system issues in late 2023, with two documented heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building in October and November of that year. While the October complaint was resolved and confirmed by HPD, the November complaint could not be investigated due to lack of building access.

The building has several ongoing concerns as of mid-2025, including an open non-emergency violation related to unsanitary garbage/recycling storage from June 2025 and multiple open Class B violations from September 2024 affecting apartment 4F, specifically regarding defective light fixtures, smoke detector issues, and carbon monoxide detector problems. The building's maintenance record shows consistent rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections passing since 2017, and a history of successful pest control management evidenced by four consecutive years of zero bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2022.

The building's history also includes a 2020 complaint related to COVID-19 Executive Orders, which was investigated and found no violations. While the property has demonstrated good overall maintenance in terms of pest control and rodent prevention, the recent heating system failures and open violations regarding safety devices and garbage storage indicate some areas requiring attention. The absence of documented bedbug issues since 2020 is notable, as is the building's consistent passing record in rodent inspections over the years, suggesting effective ongoing maintenance in these specific areas.
