3195 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The building at 3195 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by Deda Gojcaj and constructed in 1927, is a five-story, 47-unit New Law tenement currently facing several significant maintenance issues. As of May 2025, there are three open emergency complaints regarding safety equipment (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and a water leak with heavy flow, all of which were reported through 311 services.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, particularly documented in December 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding both entire building and individual apartment failures, though most of these were subsequently closed after inspection. Additional issues noted in late 2024 included unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests, with the Department of Health confirming rat activity during inspections throughout 2024 and into 2025, indicating ongoing rodent issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various violations and maintenance requests spanning several years.

In 2023, violations were noted for lead paint hazards in Apartment 2F, while in late 2024, numerous corrections were made, including repairs to heat systems, water leaks, and bathroom facilities. There are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2023 regarding failure to file required inspection reports, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to various building systems and apartment conditions. While the building has passed periodic bedbug inspections between 2019-2024, with no infestations reported, the recent history of safety equipment non-compliance and persistent rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
