3102 Willow Lane, Bronx, NY 10461

The 15-unit, 3-story building at 3102 Willow Lane in Pelham Bay, owned by Anthony Puma Jr, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2021, when multiple violations were documented, particularly affecting apartment 3A. These violations included problems with plaster surfaces, ceiling conditions, water leaks, and deficiencies in safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building, constructed in 1927 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has shown persistent challenges with plumbing and sanitation issues over the past two years.

Most recently, in September 2024, the property received multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests and sewage, as well as plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for proper inspection. In 2023, there were similar issues with pests and sewage concerns, along with water leak problems, none of which were adequately inspected due to access issues. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing concerns with water-related issues, as evidenced by numerous complaints about leaks and sewage problems, designated as emergencies in early 2023.

Additional concerns have been documented regarding pest management, with inspections showing both compliance and failure to meet standards in 2019 and 2020. While the property has maintained records of bedbug-free status in recent annual filings (most recently in 2025), the building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of unresolved access issues during inspections, particularly for plumbing, sewage, and pest-related complaints. Separate from these concerns, there was a complaint about improper water drainage filed in 2018 that was investigated in 2019 but resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection.
