3505 Bruckner Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10461

The 48-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 3505 Bruckner Boulevard in Pelham Bay, owned by Robert Weiss and constructed in 1928, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern around heating systems. The building has documented three heat/hot water complaints in 2025 (April), and multiple such complaints throughout 2024 (December, October, and March), affecting either the entire building or specific apartments. In addition to heating problems, several building-wide issues have been noted, including an unsanitary condition with pests (October 2024) and broken/missing window guards (October 2024).

A significant cluster of violations was documented in late 2024, particularly focused on apartment 3K, including issues with electrical outlets, carbon monoxide detectors, kitchen cabinets, plumbing fixtures, and window guards, all of which were subsequently certified for correction in early 2025. The building has also had notable infrastructure concerns, including water leaks and ceiling issues (both documented in March 2024), and door-related problems (November-December 2023). The property has shown some positive developments in terms of pest control, with bed bug reports indicating no infestations for the past two years (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), following previous incidents in 2019-2020 and 2021-2022.

Rodent inspections from 2010, 2019, and 2020 passed, suggesting some stability in pest management. While two site conditions endangering workers complaints were filed in 2023 (June and August), both were inspected and no violations were warranted. Recent housing maintenance code violations primarily relate to heating systems and code compliance issues in apartment 3K, though many have been addressed or closed as of 2025. The building's heating system appears to be the most pressing ongoing concern, with multiple complaints and emergency responses from 2023 through 2025 regularly documented in HPD records.
