3015 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit building at 3015 Paulding Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Joy Okonya, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple heat and hot water complaints, door/window problems, and plumbing concerns. Most recently, in April 2025, there were heat and hot water issues that warranted HPD violations, following similar problems in November 2024 that were marked as open at the time. In February 2025, the building faced multiple violations including pest infestations, door/window issues, and a bathtub/shower complaint, all resulting in violations that required correction by the owner.

The property has also encountered significant safety compliance issues, with open violations as of November 2024 in Apartment 2, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and ongoing pest infestations involving both mice and roaches. The building's history shows persistent pest control challenges, with documentation of rodent issues through 2019-2022 inspections, despite some passing results and bait applications. The building was constructed in 1930 and has undergone at least two permitted work modifications in 2018-2019.

While some maintenance issues have been resolved, as evidenced by "closed" status on many service requests, the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. The property experienced a period of bedbug infestation between 2019-2020, though records indicate successful eradication. Recent inspections and complaints continue to highlight various maintenance and safety concerns, with particular attention needed to address the open violations related to safety equipment and ongoing pest problems in Apartment 2, as well as the recurring heat and water supply issues affecting multiple units.
