3021 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3021 Wallace Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Williamsbridge, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Mertella Whyte. The property has experienced a series of recent maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in August 2024, including multiple reports of pest infestations (both mice and roaches), water supply problems, and a water leak with heavy flow. Prior to this, there were notable heat and hot water supply issues reported in late 2023 and mid-2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The building is currently facing multiple open violations following an August 2024 inspection, including requirements to post various safety notices, such as those related to smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures. Specific violations have been issued for Apartment 3 regarding missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices, as well as pest infestations. While previous rodent inspections from 2018 through June 2022 passed, recent months have shown a pattern of pest-related complaints.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water supply issues, with multiple complaints in late 2023 and 2024, some of which resulted in emergency responses. The property has also had a skylight-related issue reported in January 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. It's worth noting that while several recent complaints were investigated and closed, with no violations issued (including some concerning water supply and a water leak), the persistent nature of the heat, pest, and safety-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
