3343 Decatur Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3343 Decatur Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit residential tenement building located in Norwood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Jorge Ruiz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple violations issued between May and June 2025, including problems with lighting, intercom systems, water leaks, and door/window maintenance. The property currently has several open emergency complaints as of June 2025 regarding water leaks, unsanitary conditions, electrical systems, flooring, and plumbing issues.

Historical records show consistent maintenance challenges, particularly in apartments 2B, 2C, and 3A between 2021 and 2024, including problems with pests, electrical systems, and water leaks. Notably, while the building has had periodic issues with bedbugs (as evidenced by reporting from 2019-2024), recent filings show zero infested units in the past three reporting periods. The building's rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 showing no violations.

The property has a pattern of maintenance issues that require attention, as evidenced by both recent and historical violations. In particular, the building has ongoing problems with water leaks and electrical systems, which appear to be the most persistent issues affecting resident comfort and safety. While the building has successfully addressed some historical issues, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's bedbug situation appears to have stabilized in recent years, with no reported infestations in the latest three reporting periods, though some unsanitary conditions were noted in recent complaints.
