3502 Hull Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 67-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 3502 Hull Avenue in Norwood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Chaim Schweid, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of plumbing problems throughout 2025, including sink and bathtub issues in May, and water supply complaints in both January and April. The building has also faced multiple heat and hot water complaints during early 2025, with inspections confirming various conditions that required correction.

The most significant violations were concentrated in apartment 5G, which was subject to multiple housing maintenance code violations in late 2024, including issues with water leaks, mold, and bathroom fixtures, though most of these were certified as corrected by early 2025. The elevator system has emerged as a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and lack of alternate service between 2019 and 2025, including an active complaint regarding this issue from April 2025. The property has had persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing "Rat Activity," though the most recent inspection in May 2025 showed a pass.

Additionally, there have been issues with the building's garbage/recycling storage facilities and various plumbing systems, though many of these complaints have been investigated and resolved. The building's environmental and safety record shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding the elevator system and water-related maintenance issues, while bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations. The property has also been subject to various Department of Buildings violations, including a 2020 fine related to improper air conditioner installations and a 2021 violation for failure to perform a required elevator inspection, though these were ultimately resolved.
