3501 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10469

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 3501 Eastchester Road in Williamsbridge, owned by Vera Ifudu, was constructed in 1988 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The most recent significant concern involved a mold complaint in February 2024, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations.

The building has faced recurring pest problems, with verified violations for pests documented in August 2019, and multiple sanitation-related complaints from 2018. Several important maintenance issues were reported in August 2018, including heavy water leaks, problematic plumbing in basins/sinks, issues with cabinets, and garbage/recycling storage concerns, although HPD was unable to inspect some of these conditions. The property has multiple open violations as of 2023 related to safety notice requirements, including the need to post information about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting requirements.

A bathroom repair issue involving broken ceramic wall tiles in Apartment 1 was addressed in early 2023. The building's history includes several rodent inspections, with varying results between 2016 and 2022 showing both rat activity and periods requiring bait application, though inspection records suggest some improvements were made, with passed inspections recorded in 2018 and 2019. The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 indicated no current infestation, with no units reported as infested, re-infested, or requiring eradication during the previous filing period.
