3329 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 2-family house at 3329 Paulding Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Petrolyn Barclay, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in February 2025 involving heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. A notable cluster of maintenance issues occurred in early 2022, particularly during February, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water in various apartments, including violations related to inadequate heat supply in basement apartment 1B. Other 2022 issues included problems with electric lighting, plumbing fixtures (sink and toilet), and a refrigerator, with both emergency and non-emergency classifications.

The building has documented violations from February 2022 concerning inadequate heat supply, visible mold in the basement vestibule, and multiple electrical and lighting problems. These violations, classified as A, B, and C categories under the Housing Maintenance Code, suggest several areas requiring attention, particularly in basement apartment 1B where multiple issues were concentrated. The property has undergone some inspections showing compliance, such as passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022, and certain 311 complaints have been properly investigated and resolved, though many required multiple follow-ups for proper access and resolution verification.

While several issues from 2022 appear to have been addressed based on subsequent inspections, there remain open violations from that period related to heating, ventilation, and various maintenance matters. The building's maintenance history indicates recurring problems with essential services, particularly heating and hot water systems, across both apartments, with the most recent incident in early 2025 suggesting these issues are not fully resolved. However, it's worth noting that some complaints were made through 311 channels without subsequent violations being recorded, and many issues were addressed through HPD inspections, though not always on the first attempt to gain access for inspection.
