3525 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The four-story, 10-unit residential building at 3525 Eastchester Road in Williamsbridge, owned by Genc Lakaj and constructed in 2020, has experienced persistent pest-related challenges over the past year, with the most recent complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in June 2025 currently remaining open. An inspection conducted in October 2024 revealed multiple active pest infestations in Apartment 3B, including mice, bedbugs, and roaches, with the building receiving several Class A, B, and C violations during this inspection period.

The building has also experienced sporadic heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by emergency complaints in December 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Looking back further, the building's construction period in 2020 included at least one Environmental Control Board violation related to construction documentation, while earlier rodent inspections between 2015 and 2019 indicated fluctuating rodent activity, with multiple 'failed' compliance results.

During the bedbug reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, the building consistently reported zero infested units, suggesting an effective management of this specific pest type, despite the ongoing issues with other pests. While the building's age suggests it should be maintaining modern standards, the recurring pest complaints and recent heat/hot water issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced various violations regarding building maintenance between 2018 and 2024, including issues with downspouts and roof components, though many of these violations have been resolved.
