3810 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 3810 Barnes Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Mfon Udoh, has experienced a series of recurring maintenance issues since early 2022. Most recently, between May and June 2025, there were multiple electrical-related complaints, including wiring issues, no lighting, and problems with various electrical systems, some of which resulted in violations.

Additionally, there were instances of indoor air quality concerns with sewage odor and a drinking water-related incident in May 2025, though health inspections found no significant violations in these cases. Earlier maintenance history from 2024-2025 shows continued challenges with heat and hot water systems, electrical systems (lighting, outlets), and appliance issues (refrigerator).

Notably, the building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations dating back to 2022, including safety concerns related to electrical wiring, inadequate lighting in common areas, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1, as well as a bedbug reporting requirement violation from 2023 and 2024. The property has undergone two rodent inspections in late 2022, with one failing for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. While some improvements seem to have been made over time, as evidenced by the closure of many complaints, several critical safety and maintenance issues remain outstanding, particularly regarding electrical systems and required safety equipment.
