3209 Ely Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 3209 Ely Avenue in Baychester, owned by Simon Simms, has been consistently cited for Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years (2021-2024). Each year, the building received an open violation for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent citation occurring in April 2024.

These recurring violations, which show no signs of being addressed or certified as corrected, represent the building's most significant pattern of non-compliance with housing regulations. On a more positive note, the building has been actively maintained in terms of construction permits, with a new building (NB) permit officially issued on September 5, 2023, under job number 201078733.

The permit was part of the 11th sequence of filings for the project, suggesting continued oversight and management of the building's physical infrastructure. Despite the bedbug reporting violations, the relatively recent completion of its 2010 construction phase indicates that the building is maintaining its physical structure through appropriate permit processes.
