3347 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 3347 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by Heng Ly and constructed in 1926, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past several years. Most notably, as of May 2025, there are three open plumbing complaints involving bathtubs/showers and sinks, including one marked as an emergency.

This follows a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple heating system outages reported between 2023-2025, including several emergency complaints about heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage in 2023 and pest issues, though no violations were found during inspections. Historical records show various housing maintenance code violations from 2017-2020, primarily related to water damage and repair needs in apartment 3A, including defective plastered surfaces and issues with the fire-retardant ceiling in public areas.

Recent inspections for rodent activity have produced mixed results, with one instance of rat activity recorded in October 2023, though subsequent inspections in early 2024 passed. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2018-2024, showing zero infested units each year. While the property has generally responded to complaints and achieved closed status for many issues, the persistence of recent plumbing problems and historical heating system challenges suggests ongoing maintenance concerns.
