3517 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10461

The 5-unit, 2-story building at 3517 Bruckner Boulevard in Pelham Bay, owned by Jonathan Bichoupan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints involving bathtubs/shower and toilet facilities, with the bathtub/shower issue being categorized as an emergency. In late 2020, the building faced a cluster of problems including heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, as well as concerns about mold, pests, and various safety matters including smoke detector functionality and fire escape conditions.

While some of these complaints were resolved (as noted in HPD records), many were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2020 that remain unresolved, including issues with required safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bedbug reporting. Recent inspections (2021-2023) have documented these ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding the need to maintain proper safety signage in common areas.

Notably, a bedbug report filed for the period covering November 2022 to October 2023 indicated zero infested units. While a rodent inspection performed in March 2019 passed, the continued pattern of maintenance issues documented through 311 complaints and HPD violations suggests persistent building maintenance challenges. Recent complaints from 2024 about plumbing issues, including an illegal conversion complaint that was unresolved due to lack of access, underscore ongoing concerns with building conditions and responsiveness to maintenance issues.
