3444 Fish Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 292-unit, 5-story apartment building at 3444 Fish Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Andrew Schwartz, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently multiple open complaints as of mid-2025, including door/window problems (two separate incidents), pest infestations (two separate incidents), and issues with wall conditions and cooking gas. Between March and May 2025, there were also complaints about water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leak) and interior maintenance issues.

A series of housing maintenance code violations and complaints from late 2024 to early 2025 indicate ongoing concerns, particularly in apartment 3B where there are open violations for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Apartment 2C has multiple open violations including issues with plaster surfaces, window guards, lead paint compliance, and a reported roach infestation. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 inspection revealing multiple violations across different apartments, though some issues were subsequently closed.

Previous inspections and complaints have documented problems with doors, water systems, safety equipment, and pest control. While there were concerning reports of rodent activity between 2021 and 2022, more recent inspections in 2024 indicate compliance with rodent control measures. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, as evidenced by multiple consecutive filings showing zero affected units between 2024 and 2025. The building, constructed in 1935, has experienced recurring maintenance issues typical of older New York City buildings, with the most recent data (as of 2025) showing multiple unresolved complaints that warrant attention.
