3222 Seymour Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family residence at 3222 Seymour Avenue in Baychester, owned by Gil Broitman, has faced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around pest control. In September 2024, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests were filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper investigation. The building has experienced persistent rodent and air quality problems, with documented violations from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in late 2023 related to sewage odor and rodent attraction conditions.

A notable pattern of heating system issues was recorded between late 2022 and early 2023, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat or hot water in the entire building, and an open housing maintenance violation regarding inadequate heat supply to Apartment 2 was documented in December 2022. The property has also faced significant structural and safety concerns, including unpermitted construction work and possible illegal conversion issues. In March 2021, the Department of Buildings issued violations for work performed without proper permits, including the installation of bathroom fixtures and residential plumbing.

The building's history includes various other maintenance issues, such as problems with the building entrance door, plumbing systems, and flooring, though many of these have been resolved. Recent inspections for rodent presence showed inconsistent results, with both failures and passes recorded between 2018 and 2024. Notably, bedbug reports for the property consistently show zero infested units since 2021, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. While some maintenance problems have been addressed, the recent pattern of pest control issues and housing violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
