3133 Sands Place, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 3133 Sands Place in Pelham Bay, built in 1935 and currently owned by Renee Dyer, has experienced several concerning events in recent years, particularly regarding building maintenance and resident comfort. Most notably, in January 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not verify due to lack of access to the units.

This was not an isolated incident; the building has maintained an open violation status since 2022 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, with similar violations documented in 2023, 2024, and 2021, indicating ongoing non-compliance with this important safety requirement. The most recent reported condition before this was the bedbug report violation from April 2024, while from April 2019 there's documentation of a passed rodent inspection, suggesting that rodent control measures were in place and effective at that time.

The building's violation history presents a pattern of administrative oversights, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though it's worth noting these violations are class A rather than higher-risk classes. The recent heat and hot water complaints in January 2025 represent the most immediate concern regarding resident comfort, though the lack of access during the HPD inspection means the actual condition remains unverified. While historical data shows some periods of regulatory compliance, the persistence of these specific violations over multiple years suggests there may be challenges with timely regulatory compliance and maintenance oversight in this building.
