3605 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

3605 Barnes Avenue is a three-unit, three-story residential building located in Williamsbridge, Bronx, and owned by Eng Ong. The building has been through several significant events since its construction in 2002, with the most substantial issues occurring in late 2021. During November-December 2021, multiple housing maintenance complaints were filed and investigated, resulting in violations for wall paint/plaster issues and water leaks, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment.

These conditions led to open violations being issued in December 2021, specifically concerning water leaks on both the north and south walls of the third-floor apartment, as well as problems with plastered surfaces. Additional violations from the same period noted defects in the entrance doors and a wooden stair tread, though some of these have been closed since. More recent building inspections have shown improvements, including the resolution of several violations by 2022-2023.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows consistent compliance, with no reported infestations during any of the annual reporting periods. Rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022 indicate passed results, though an initial rat activity finding was recorded in August 2022. The property management has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspection compliance, with the most recent bedbug report from July 2024 indicating no current or past infestations. The building's maintenance history shows varying levels of response to issues, with some problems remaining open for extended periods, particularly during the 2021-2022 timeframe, while more recent records suggest improved compliance and maintenance practices.
