1003 Ward Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 1003 Ward Avenue in Soundview, owned by Deborah Kerr, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most importantly, there are currently multiple open complaints filed in April 2025 regarding basic building systems and infrastructure, including plumbing problems (sink/basin), door/window issues (door and window pane), and an appliance problem (refrigerator). These more recent complaints likely require urgent attention given their multiple open status across different reporting systems.

The building has also had recurring issues with heat and hot water in late 2020 and early 2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed, though these were subsequently closed with no violations issued. Additional historical context shows the building has faced several regulatory requirements and inspections. There are open Class A violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2022, 2023, and 2024, while previous years' filings in 2021 showed no infestations.

In December 2020, Apartment 2 had several serious issues including a cockroach infestation (Class C violation) and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (Class B violations), though the housing records indicate these violations were addressed. However, the building's maintenance record is somewhat reassuring in terms of pest control, as recent rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective management of that particular issue. The building's recent complaints and open violations, particularly those related to basic infrastructure and safety systems, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life.
