3520 Corsa Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3520 Corsa Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Eulallee Kettle and constructed in 1988, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in 2024-2025. The most recent cluster of problems occurred in June 2025, when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by HPD, resulting in violations being issued for various issues including a water leak (heavy flow), ceiling paint/plaster problems, intercom system failures, and unsanitary conditions with pest infestations. These follow earlier complaints from June 2025 regarding plumbing and intercom issues that HPD was unable to inspect.

The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, particularly concentrated in Apartment 2 on the second floor, which has open violations from 2024 related to pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, mold issues, and electrical service problems. There are also documented water flow issues and multiple instances of plumbing problems, particularly affecting bathtubs/showers. In 2024, an environmental control board violation was issued for illegal occupancy conversion claims, with a penalty of $1,250 still active as of 2025. Between 2018 and 2021, there were several complaints about potential illegal conversions and occupancy violations, though inspections were often unable to gain access or resulted in no violations being found.

The building has undergone periodic rodent inspections with mixed results, showing some improvement over time. The property has a notable pattern of service requests and violations, particularly regarding water-related issues and pest infestations, with the most recent complaints occurring shortly before and continuing into mid-2025. While some violations have been addressed or closed through HPD and Housing Maintenance Code processes, several significant issues remain open, particularly concerning Apartment 2's habitability and maintenance conditions. The building's history demonstrates recurring challenges with basic infrastructure systems, including plumbing, electrical, and pest control, despite various inspection attempts and service requests.
