3636 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story residential building at 3636 Paulding Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Merle Davis and constructed in 1990, has had several significant maintenance events in recent years. Most notably, in March 2020, the building experienced multiple interconnected issues including problems with heating and hot water throughout the entire building, window safety concerns (broken/missing window guards), window frame and door problems, wall paint/plaster issues, and pest-related unsanitary conditions.

While all these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and no violations were issued, the heating and hot water issues were specifically noted as emergency conditions that required correction. The building has also been subject to annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted for failing to file the necessary reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all of which have since been closed.

However, a subsequent bedbug report covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicates no infested or re-infested dwelling units, and an earlier rodent inspection from January 2019 resulted in a passing grade. These recent inspection records and compliance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance, particularly concerning safety features and reporting requirements, though recent bedbug and rodent control efforts appear to have been effective in maintaining pest-free conditions.
