3048 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469
The 7-unit, 3-story building at 3048 Fenton Avenue in Baychester, owned by Clive Spencer, was constructed in 1930 as a New Law Tenement. The property currently faces several significant open issues as of May 2025, most concerning resident safety: there are active complaints regarding non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as ceiling paint/plaster issues. These recent safety-related complaints are particularly concerning. Historical data shows a pattern of safety-related violations and maintenance issues, including multiple instances of carbon monoxide detector problems in 2018-2025, safety violations regarding window guards, and emergency issues with doors and recycling storage.
The building has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2025, showing zero infested units in the most recent reports. Previous maintenance issues included a heat/hot water outage in 2019 that was reportedly resolved quickly, and various violations from 2018 regarding door self-closing mechanisms, skylight glass replacement, and missing smoke detectors in Apartment 4. The property was cited for multiple safety and maintenance violations during 2018-2022 inspections, including the need for proper signage regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements. Most recently, there is an active case from June 2024 regarding improperly installed electrical service switches and meters, with a penalty of $800 imposed.
Despite these various issues, the building passed a rodent inspection in 2022 and had no food establishment violations during a 2023 inspection. The building's compliance with housing maintenance codes has shown improvement in recent years, with annual bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2021-2025, and many past violations have been closed successfully. However, the current open safety issues regarding detectors and the recent electrical violation suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had two permit issuances in 2018 for plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW), indicating some level of proactive maintenance or improvements during that period.
