3542 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 3542 Eastchester Road in Williamsbridge, owned by Marco Flores, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025. There were ten documented complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water between October 2024 and May 2025, with violations issued in March 2025, though most complaints were subsequently resolved or closed after inspections confirmed restoration of service.

The building underwent a significant inspection on June 14, 2024, which revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 2, including the need to repair or replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective plastered surfaces, kitchen drop ceiling tiles, ceramic floor tiles, baseboard heating covers, and several window spring balances. These violations, categorized as Class A and Class B, indicate various safety and maintenance concerns that require attention.

The property has a history of rodent inspection activity, with a failed initial inspection in December 2018 followed by a compliance inspection that passed in March 2019. A complaint regarding blocked egress was filed and investigated in June 2024, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. While the building was classified as "Heretofore Converted Class A" and originally constructed in 1920, its current condition as of May 2025 shows persistent challenges with basic utilities and several outstanding maintenance issues in the second-floor apartment that need to be addressed.
