3207 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

At 3207 Wallace Avenue in Williamsbridge, this 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1901 has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, particularly in early 2025. The property has open violations as of October 2024, including concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and various defects in the 2nd-floor apartment's windows, plastered surfaces, and ceilings. A significant number of service requests were filed in May 2025, with complaints about window frames, ceiling paint issues, and water leaks; notably, there was an emergency complaint regarding carbon monoxide detectors, though HPD was unable to complete the inspection.

The building has maintained some basic standards, with inspections from January 2025 showing no violations for certain complaints, but there are multiple active violations requiring attention. Prior to these recent issues, the building had a bedbug inspection in 2021 showing no infestation, and a successful rodent inspection in 2019. There have been several instances of HPD being unable to complete inspections, particularly regarding safety concerns and flooring issues, which may indicate access difficulties or communication challenges.

A bedbug violation was recorded in April 2024, though the status remains open with no certified date provided. The owner, Yonatan Bahumi, has faced ongoing maintenance challenges as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations, though many recent service requests have been closed without violations being issued, indicating some responsiveness to tenant concerns. The building's age and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with preserving basic living conditions, particularly affecting the 2nd-floor unit which appears to have the most documented problems.
