3573 Laconia Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

3573 Laconia Avenue, a 5-story, 20-unit residential building completed in 2022 in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, has experienced recurring heating system issues since its construction. The most recent problems, documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, involve multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2025 (most recently in April 2025) and throughout 2024, with several incidents classified as emergencies.

Other maintenance concerns in 2025 included plumbing issues related to radiators and window frame problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations or confirmed that conditions were corrected. Early 2024 saw additional complaints regarding plumbing, paint/plaster issues, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, all of which were closed without violations being issued.

The building's early history includes several inspections and complaints while under construction, including a boiler-related issue in January 2024 that was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during the second attempt, and a sweep inspection in August 2023 that resulted in no violations. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports for 2023-2025 showing zero infested units, no eradication efforts, and no re-infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the heating system issues represent the most significant ongoing maintenance concern, the lack of major violations or persistent problems in other areas indicates general compliance with building codes and regulations.
