3013 Barker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 31-unit, 7-story residential building at 3013 Barker Avenue in Olinville, owned by Moses Freund, has experienced several maintenance and service-related issues since its completion in 2020. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint that was resolved within two days.

In late 2024, the building faced multiple challenges, including unsanitary conditions with pests (which HPD was unable to inspect), plumbing issues with a bathtub/shower (violations were issued), and problems related to the building's janitor/super that were also difficult to inspect. The property has a documented history of plumbing, heating, and maintenance issues, with the most significant violations currently affecting apartment 7E, including problems with plaster surfaces, HVAC heating units, and a water leak in the bathroom identified in January 2024.

The building's construction phase in late 2020 through 2021 saw several complaints related to construction practices, including issues with scaffolding maintenance and property protection, as well as multiple complaints about work being done contrary to approved plans and permits, though most of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations found. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest management, with annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2020 to 2024, and it passed its most recent rodent inspection in 2022. While representing a new building, 3013 Barker Avenue has experienced typical post-construction maintenance challenges, particularly with plumbing and heating systems, though many early construction-related complaints were resolved as the building transitioned to its operational phase.
