3307 Fish Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 3307 Fish Avenue in Baychester, owned by Evelyn Barbosa, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, the building faced multiple urgent complaints regarding heat and hot water problems that affected the entire building, as well as mold and pest infestations, though HPD was unable to gain access to complete inspections for some of these complaints.

The property, built in 1930, has a concerning history of heat and electrical issues, including two power outages (2019 and 2020) and heating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. A December 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, an unresolved broken window spring balance in the bathroom, and an active mice infestation, while September 2023 inspections documented several lead paint hazards and the need for various repairs including ceiling repainting in multiple rooms and the private hallway. Despite these challenges, the building has shown some commitment to addressing health and safety concerns, with records showing violations being certified as corrected, including lead paint remediation and carbon monoxide detector installation.

The property has passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, though more recent pest complaints suggest this issue may not be fully resolved. The documented violations and complaints suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems, pest control, and various safety requirements, though not all complaints have resulted in violations being issued. The most recent incidents in March 2025 indicate that some building systems and maintenance issues remain problematic as of 2025.
