3531 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family house at 3531 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Ena Hector, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024. Notably, in November 2024, there were two urgent complaints regarding heat/hot water and water supply problems, with the heat issue resulting in HPD violations that required correction.

The building faced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2022-2023, including multiple instances of water supply problems (both emergency and non-emergency), electrical issues (including lighting failures), door problems, unsanitary mold conditions, and wall plaster issues. Many of these complaints resulted in HPD violations, though some were resolved through verification of corrections. The property's documented history reveals a pattern of plumbing-related problems, with at least five separate complaints about water supply issues between 2022-2024, along with recurring electrical problems that affected lighting.

The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly water supply and electrical systems. The most recent violations from November 2024 indicate that some issues remain unresolved or have reoccurred, despite previous interventions by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. While some complaints were successfully resolved, including one water supply issue in late 2022, and certain violations were corrected as per HPD's process, the frequency and nature of these complaints raise concerns about the building's overall maintenance responsiveness and infrastructure reliability.
