3035 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 26-unit, 5-story building at 3035 Wallace Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Oscar Castro, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent months (2025) that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, with violations issued following HPD inspections in June 2025. The building has also faced various plumbing issues, including bathtub/shower problems and water leaks, as well as electrical concerns such as outlet/switch problems.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including issues with entrance doors, mailbox doors, and an intercom system. The Department of Buildings has active violations related to unfiled low pressure inspections from 2019-2023. The property has undergone several inspections showing varying conditions, with rodent inspections from 2018 to 2023 generally passing except for some failures noted in 2009-2010.

Bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no infestations during the reporting periods. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, as evidenced by closed violations, there are still open violations on record, particularly for apartment 3C regarding pest infestations. Recent complaints filed through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints demonstrate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the areas of plumbing, sanitation, and electrical systems. The building's age (1928) and recent history suggest that while some improvements have been made, there are persistent issues affecting resident comfort and safety that require monitoring.
