3709 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 3709 Paulding Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Elroy Reynolds, is a 2-story building constructed in 1935. The property has a concerning history of outstanding violations from May 2018, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment.

These include multiple maintenance issues such as broken plaster surfaces and defective kitchen conditions, window sash problems, plumbing concerns including a defective bathroom wash basin sink top, and a lack of proper electrical safety features with missing GFI wall outlets at the kitchen sink area. The first-floor apartment also experienced significant pest control challenges in 2018, with documented infestations of roaches and mice. More recently, there was a hot water temperature violation in January 2018, though this specific issue was certified as resolved by February 2018.

On a positive note, the building underwent a rodent inspection in September 2022, which it passed, indicating some improvement in pest management since the 2018 violations. However, it's important to note that as of October 2023, several of the 2018 violations remained open, including issues with an illegal double cylinder door lock at the building entrance gate and various maintenance problems in the first-floor apartment. These open violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, though the more recent rodent inspection provides some reassurance about the current state of the building's pest control measures.
