3012 Bronxwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 4-unit residential building at 3012 Bronxwood Avenue is a 3-story structure built in 1931, currently owned by Winford Elmore. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with significant recent concerns between 2020 and 2022. Most notably, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions involving mold and sewage in mid-2022, though some inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2021, including problems with heat/hot water, electrical outlets, and door/window issues, most of which were again marked by inspection access problems. An emergency water leak incident and ceiling plaster issue were documented in August 2020, with violations issued for the latter. The building currently has several open violations as of 2024, including issues related to bedbug report filings and safety equipment requirements.

These violations pertain to the need for proper smoke and carbon monoxide detector installations, emergency notices, and building registration postings in public areas. During a 2022 inspection, multiple safety-related violations were identified, including missing smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection devices, and emergency gas leak procedures. Despite these issues, the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022, suggesting one area of maintenance stability. While some historical complaints have been addressed or resolved, the pattern of access issues for inspectors and the accumulation of various safety-related violations warrants attention to the building's maintenance and safety compliance history.
