323 East Gun Hill Road, Bronx, NY 10467

323 East Gun Hill Road is a 6-story, 52-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rosa Ferraro. The property has experienced multiple concerning maintenance issues in recent months, with several open complaints as of May 2025 including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, door maintenance, elevator maintenance, and heat/hot water systems. Particularly notable is the building's ongoing struggle with heating system reliability, as evidenced by several heat/hot water complaints in 2025 and late 2024, some of which required HPD inspections and resulted in violations.

The property has also faced significant safety and maintenance challenges in recent years, including multiple open violations from 2024 concerning rodent infestations (mice and roaches), building code compliance issues, and problems with safety equipment like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, particularly notable in Apartment 2B. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications and safety equipment, including issues with gas dryer installations in the basement laundry room and missing or improperly maintained sprinkler systems. The building's history includes various infrastructure concerns, including multiple elevator-related issues (both as a complaint category and an ECB violation in 2024), problematic boiler systems as indicated by several complaints, and a pattern of heating system failures that has persisted over time.

While there have been some improvements indicated by closed complaints and passed rodent inspections in 2025, the most recent service requests from May 2025 show ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has documented instances of infestation in previous years, though recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) show no current infestations. Recent inspections have shown variable results regarding pest issues, with several instances of rat activity documented between 2022-2023, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issues. The building has also experienced some administrative issues, including instances of work being performed without proper permits and occupancy questions regarding the cellar level, though these matters appear to have been resolved through subsequent actions.
