2743 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

2743 Paulding Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Allerton neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and owned by Rosanna Franciosa. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six such complaints documented between November 2023 and October 2024, three of which were classified as emergencies. These heating system problems seem to persist despite inspections and varying resolution outcomes.

The property has also faced electrical safety concerns, with multiple documented instances of electrical wiring and power outage issues, particularly notable in 2020-2021, including four separate electrical wiring complaints between March 2020 and January 2022, all leading to Oath Violations. During 2020, several violations were noted regarding boiler systems, with multiple citations for problems including missing discharge pipes, improper support for flue pipes, and maintenance issues, resulting in fines totaling $2,875. Recent maintenance records show improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (as per 2024 filings) and passing rodent inspections in 2022 and 2020.

The building's management initially struggled with compliance, as evidenced by multiple failure-to-correct violations in 2020-2021, though most of these issues have been resolved with no current penalties outstanding. Inspection records indicate that while some complaints resulted in no violations being found, there have been recurring access issues during inspections, with HPD unable to gain entry to investigate complaints on multiple occasions. The property maintains an active status with housing maintenance code compliance and has filed the required bedbug reports for recent years, showing zero incurred infestations.
