3374 Corsa Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3374 Corsa Avenue in Baychester, owned by Marjorie Mclean, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concentrated in apartment 2. Between May and July 2024, the building received multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints and violations, most notably concerning apartment 2 which had documented issues with pests (both roaches and mice), multiple door and window problems, floor tile deficiencies in the bathroom, ventilation system concerns, and various appliance-related matters including an defective sink in the kitchen.

The apartment also showed deficiencies in safety equipment, with violations noted for non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has recorded two separate instances of window pane-related issues (both emergency and non-emergency) between May and July 2024, and though some complaints from July 2024 were resolved with violations being issued, most recent complaints from May 2024 resulted in violations being issued rather than fines. A significant aspect of note is the presence of mold and unsanitary conditions reported in July 2024, for which violations were issued.

Prior to these recent issues, the building had relatively few documented problems, with a rodent inspection in December 2018 resulting in a passing grade, and only one plumbing-related complaint in 2020 that could not be accessed for inspection. The current pattern of violations suggests a concerning trend of maintenance issues, particularly focusing on safety systems and basic living conditions in apartment 2, with multiple violations remaining open as of the most recent records. The year-built date of 1990 indicates the building is now 35 years old, which is relatively typical for a low-rise residential structure in New York City, though its current maintenance record suggests a need for attention to basic systems and safety equipment.
