3243 Kingsland Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, two-family house at 3243 Kingsland Avenue in Baychester, owned by Alex Yushuvayev, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency service requests in April 2025 related to critical systems, including heat/hot water, cooking gas, and electrical power outages, with HPD issuing violations for the heating system that required correction.

The building has also faced recurring electrical problems, including no lighting and a power outage during the same period. In 2024, there were significant plumbing and maintenance issues, including a heavy water leak and mold problems reported in July, though these did not result in violations upon inspection. The property has a concerning history of rodent-related issues, with four separate complaints between January and May 2024 regarding conditions attracting rodents, though inspections were conducted under the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's jurisdiction.

There have been two separate illegal conversion complaints on record: one from August 2024 where access was denied during inspection, and another in April 2025 that resulted in a partial vacate order being served, indicating potential safety concerns related to unauthorized modifications. While a construction enforcement complaint was filed in June 2025, the inspection found no violations warranting enforcement action. The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and maintenance issues requiring monitoring, though not all reported conditions resulted in official violations or specifically cited health risks.
