3647 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

This three-unit residential building at 3647 Paulding Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Javier Monroy, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during the first half of 2024. The property, constructed in 2003, has documented recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints reported between February and March 2024, some requiring emergency intervention. Plumbing issues have also been a concern, with violations related to water supply and sink problems. The building saw multiple violations issued in spring 2024, including problems with doors, cooking gas supply, and various maintenance issues in apartment 2 such as electrical fixtures, cabinet doors, and plumbing problems.

Notably, apartment 1 had a rodent infestation violation issued in April 2024, which was subsequently certified as corrected. More recent records indicate some additional maintenance needs were identified in mid-2024, including a refrigerator gasket issue in apartment 2 (June 2024 violation). However, the building has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent two-year period (2023-2025), and previous reports in 2022 and 2021 showed eradicated units. The property has passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, suggesting some success in pest management.

While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, most of these problems have been addressed and closed through proper channels, though some violations remained open temporarily while awaiting resolution. The extensive documentation of service requests and violations suggests a pattern of maintenance needs requiring attention, particularly during the early months of 2024. However, the recent lack of bedbug infestations and successful resolution of many violations indicates ongoing efforts to maintain the property. The building's age (built in 2003) and the nature of some violations suggest typical wear and tear and maintenance issues that can arise in multi-unit residential buildings.
