3513 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-story, seven-unit building at 3513 Bruckner Boulevard in Pelham Bay, built in 1928 and currently owned by Nevruz Rexhepi, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around pest infestations. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a complaint about pest-related unsanitary conditions, though an HPD inspector was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints in November 2021, including four separate reports of pests and one related to flooring issues, all of which were addressed according to HPD records.

Additionally, during 2020-2021, there were multiple heating and hot water complaints, including emergencies in December 2020. The building currently has several open violations from December 2020 affecting apartment 3R, including issues with mold (4 sq. ft. in bathroom), multiple safety device deficiencies (smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector), peeling paint, and the presence of cockroach infestation.

These violations, classified as A, B, and C under the Housing Maintenance Code, remain unresolved as of the latest inspection records. The property has also faced challenges with its bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required. While the building underwent inspections in 2019 that failed for "Other Reasons" regarding rodent conditions, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reporting period (2019-2020) indicated no infestation. These ongoing maintenance issues suggest a pattern of building system and pest management challenges that have persisted over several years, with the most recent violations primarily concentrated in a single apartment unit.
