3325 Seymour Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 3325 Seymour Avenue in Baychester, owned by James Simpson, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1920. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024 (all classified as "Open" violations), indicating non-compliance with required annual bedbug report filings. The building experienced plumbing and appliance issues in August 2018, with multiple complaints involving toilets and refrigerators, some of which led to violations.

These included problems with a bathroom toilet's flushing apparatus, inadequate cold water supply to a bathroom washbasin, and defects in bathroom and kitchen ceiling surfaces in the basement apartment. During this period, safety equipment violations were also documented, including issues with a missing smoke detector and a non-functional carbon monoxide detector in the basement unit, though these were subsequently closed after certification in September 2018. More recent inspections show better results, with rodent inspections from 2016-2022 generally passing (though there were two failures for "Other Reasons" in 2016).

The most recent building permit was issued on October 26, 2023, for electrical work under job number 240356547. While the property has shown some pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2018, there have been no major complaints or violations reported in the last two years, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the bedbug reporting violations remain a significant concern. The building is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," and is believed to contain a basement unit along with two additional units, though specific unit configuration details are not provided in the data.
