3417 Barker Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family residence at 3417 Barker Avenue in the Olinville neighborhood, owned by Jonathan Leid, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, particularly relating to unauthorized work and access issues. Between April 2018 and April 2019, there were three separate complaints lodged with the Department of Buildings regarding allegedly illegal work being performed at the property, including unpermitted changes in occupancy use and plumbing modifications.

The most serious of these complaints, filed in August 2018, involved unauthorized plumbing work that potentially affected sprinkler and standpipe systems, while the subsequent complaints in September 2018 and April 2019 continued this pattern of reported unauthorized modifications. All three complaints resulted in inspection attempts by authorities, but access issues were a consistent barrier to resolution, with inspectors either being denied entry or unable to gain access on multiple occasions - specifically identified as "No Access - 2nd Attempt" or "Access Denied - 2nd Attempt" in the disposition codes.

Notably, all these complaints have since been closed, though the repeated access issues and pattern of reported unauthorized modifications over this relatively short timeframe may indicate previous concerns about building maintenance practices. Since April 2019, there have been no recorded complaints or violations, though it's worth noting that access-related issues may have contributed to the lack of any definitive resolution regarding the substance of the complaints prior to closure.
