3539 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit building at 3539 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Bayside Ny Group Llc, has experienced notable maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. In September 2024, multiple urgent complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) concerning water leaks (heavy flow), plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), door problems, and pest infestations, with at least two resulting in violations.

The building also has several open and recently addressed violations from October 2024, including issues with a roof leak affecting a third-floor apartment, defective plaster surfaces and painting requirements in the public hall, and various maintenance concerns in common areas such as inadequate lighting and loose handrails. The property has a documented history of plumbing and heating system challenges, with multiple heating and water supply complaints filed between 2019 and 2021, most notably in 2019 when inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected apartments.

An appliance issue regarding the electric/gas range was also recorded in April 2019. While the building has experienced periodic pest problems, as evidenced by the recent pest complaint and previous infestations, bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no active infestations, though three units were previously affected in 2021-2022. The building's rodent inspection history shows passing results in 2018, 2022, and 2010, though there were some failures in 2010 and 2011 indicating previous concerns with rodent activity.
