3857 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10467

The 6-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 3857 White Plains Road in Olinville, owned by Freddy Reynoso and constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints recorded in February 2025 regarding insufficient building-wide heating and hot water supplies. These recent problems appear to be part of a broader pattern, as similar heat-related complaints were documented throughout 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has multiple active violations requiring attention, including open citations from July 2024 in Apartment 3 related to defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing doors, and plumbing issues, along with noted pest infestations.

Three separate emergency complaints regarding mold and one for pest problems were filed and closed in February 2025. The building's maintenance history also shows significant concerns about safety and building systems. In April 2024, violations were recorded regarding excessive hot water temperatures and defective fixtures in Apartment 3.

There are multiple outstanding Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file low-pressure external inspection reports from 2018 through 2023. Two active ECB violations from 2022 remain concerning: one for obstructed exit passageways and another for unpermitted door replacements in Apartments 2 and 5, each carrying a penalty of $6,250. While there have been no recorded bedbug issues in recent inspections (2023-2025), historical rodent inspections show a pattern of failure to meet compliance standards between 2017 and 2019, with a single passing inspection in October 2022. The building's condition as of 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and maintenance compliance, despite some issues being temporarily addressed through various complaint resolution processes.
