3711 Bronxwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 3711 Bronxwood Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Issaika Samake, has experienced several maintenance and regulatory issues over the past five years. Most notably, the property has multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, indicating a recurring compliance issue with the Housing Maintenance Code.

In August 2020, the building experienced a cluster of maintenance problems in Basement Apartment 1, including heat and hot water issues, a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, roach infestation, electrical outlet problems in the kitchenette, and wall plaster/paint concerns, resulting in various violation classifications from A to C. While most of these violations have been addressed, several remain open, including issues with the heating system access, door self-closing mechanisms, and bathroom water leak repairs.

The property has undergone some inspections and repairs outside of these noted violations, with a rodent inspection in September 2022 resulting in a passing grade, and an electrical wiring complaint in August 2022 where the inspector was unable to gain access, though a permit was issued for electrical work in June 2022 (Job #240330165). Historical records show this building, constructed in 1920, was previously classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," suggesting a prior conversion from its original use. While some maintenance issues appear to have been resolved, the persistence of the bedbug reporting violation from 2021 to present raises concerns about consistent regulatory compliance.
