3771 Willett Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit building at 3771 Willett Avenue in Olinville, owned by Belinda Jones-senior and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns emerging in June 2024. During a Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection on June 3, 2024, multiple violations were recorded, including problems with cabinets, ceilings (both general and bathroom in Unit 2), plumbing fixtures (particularly in the bathtub/shower), flooring issues, and the presence of mold in Unit 2's bathroom.

The building also received several violations related to safety requirements, including missing smoke detector notices, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures at the first-story public hall, along with a broken entrance door lock that required repair. In addition, there were three complaints about illegal hotel rooms and one regarding illegal conversion in late 2023, though these were either closed without violations or due to inspector access issues. The property exhibits a generally clean history regarding bedbug and pest control issues, with no reported infestations or re-infestations since at least 2019.

The most recent bedbug filings (2022-2023) showed zero affected units, and an inspection in September 2022 passed with no rodent issues noted. Previous rodent activity was documented primarily in late 2011, with multiple bait applications recorded during that period, suggesting an earlier infestation that was subsequently addressed. While the building shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding water damage and security systems, it has demonstrated compliance with most inspection requirements by resolving violations through appropriate certifications, with the most recent being for corrections made between June and September 2024.
