3359 Seymour Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 3359 Seymour Avenue in Baychester, owned by Benjamin Yousefzadeh and built in 1934, has experienced several noteworthy incidents affecting resident comfort and safety in recent years. Most recently, in December 2023, there were heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, which were promptly addressed and verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from late 2024 and early 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units for the previous filing periods, despite having received violation notices regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022. Of particular concern is the building's rodent activity history, with documented rat presence during inspections in April and July 2022, following a clean inspection in February 2019.

While the property has generally complied with housing maintenance requirements, the recent heating issues and rodent activity suggest areas requiring ongoing monitoring. The building's age and New Law Tenement classification indicate it is subject to specific regulatory requirements regarding maintenance and reporting, which in recent years have included attention to bedbug reporting compliance and prompt response to heat-related complaints.
