3527 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The 10-unit, 5-story residential building at 3527 Eastchester Road in Williamsbridge, built in 2015 and currently owned by 2405-2407 Barker Realty Corp, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2025, an entire building heating/hot water complaint resulted in HPD violations, following a similar building-wide heating issue in 2023. The building has also faced multiple heating problems in individual apartments, with documented complaints in March and December 2020, and January 2023.

Inspection records from 2023 show significant environmental concerns, including mold issues in the first-story public hall affecting both the south and east walls, which were classified as Class A and B violations. Additional violations from 2023 included problems with self-closing doors on the 3rd and 5th stories, and the building was cited in 2024 for failing to file required annual boiler inspection reports, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $655 penalty. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past four reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with zero reported cases of infestation.

Rodent inspections have shown a mix of compliance results, with failures noted in 2012 and 2018, though there was a passing result in 2019. The property has undergone regular maintenance inspections under the Housing Maintenance Code, with various violations being documented and closed over time. Notably, in 2023, there were violations regarding the need for light-colored paint in both the bathroom of apartment 2C and the first-story public hall. While many historical maintenance issues have been addressed through inspections and corrections, the repeated heating system problems, particularly the most recent building-wide issue in January 2025, indicate an ongoing infrastructure challenge that affects resident comfort and building systems reliability.
