3320 Colden Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 3320 Colden Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Bertland Stephenson, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2019. Between November and December 2019, there were four emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While two of these complaints resulted in no violations being found and one noted that heat and hot water had been restored, one particularly serious violation was recorded on November 12, 2019, for inadequate hot water provision in Apartment 1, though this was certified as corrected on November 22, 2019. Additionally, during this period, there was a rodent infestation issue in Apartment 1, with an open Class B violation recorded on November 12, 2019. More recently, in early 2020, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), which resulted in violations being found on the property, though follow-up inspections of January 8, 2020, saw the property pass inspection.

The building's rodent history shows a pattern, with rodent inspections conducted in July 2022 (which passed) and October 2018 (which also passed), suggesting improvements in pest management. No significant complaints or violations have been recorded in the past two years (2021-2023), indicating potential stabilization of the building's maintenance issues. The building, classified as a one-story, two-family house, was built in 1945 and has been under consistent ownership by Bertland Stephenson.
