3150 Roberts Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 71-unit, 6-story building at 3150 Roberts Avenue in Pelham Bay, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Vito Sacchetti, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with three emergency complaints recorded between January and April that required HPD intervention. The building faced significant system-related problems in 2024, including multiple plumbing and electrical issues such as heavy water leaks, faucet problems, and wiring concerns, all of which were classified as emergencies.

October 2024 inspections revealed several violations in Apartment 5J, including mice infestation, electrical fixture problems, and plumbing issues, though these were certified as corrected by November 2024. Elevator service has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about lack of alternate service, the most recent being active as of June 2025. The building has undergone various inspections and faced violations regarding safety features, particularly in late 2024, when issues with self-closing doors in the 5th-floor public hall and stairway were noted.

A boiler violation was recorded in September 2024, and there is an active ECB violation from July 2022 regarding improper installation of a fire safety device with a $1,250 penalty. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), and a passing rodent inspection in October 2019. While most past violations have been resolved, including a 2019 Certificate of Occupancy complaint, a recent DOB violation from October 2023 remains active concerning failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous ECB violation.
