3373 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, four-unit building at 3373 Fenton Avenue in Baychester, owned by Arthur Franciosa and constructed in 2002, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years, particularly evident between late 2023 and early 2024. During this period, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints filed through the NYC 311 system, with at least five separate incidents documented between November 2023 and March 2024, all classified as emergencies and subsequently closed after HPD inspection or verification of corrections.

The building has also faced structural concerns, as indicated by a 2022 violation requiring repairs to a defective self-closing door at the second-story entrance, though this issue was resolved by November 2022. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no documented instances of bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods. The most recent bedbug report for the 2022-2023 period, filed in April 2024, showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Previous reports from 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 also indicated no bedbug issues. The property underwent a rodent inspection in February 2019, which passed, demonstrating compliance with basic sanitation requirements. While the heating system problems represent the most significant ongoing concern for residents, the building's overall maintenance record shows attention to regulatory requirements, including timely filing of bedbug reports and prompt resolution of various maintenance issues.
