3117 Tiemann Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family residence at 3117 Tiemann Avenue in Baychester, owned by Camille Phaire-Morton, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concern regarding heating systems. Most recently, in late 2023, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints (on November 25 and 29) for which HPD was unable to gain access to the apartments to conduct inspections. This followed a pattern of heating system problems, including an emergency complaint in November 2022 for which conditions were verified as corrected.

The building has also faced other significant infrastructure challenges, including a power outage in July 2023 that required HPD intervention to verify corrections, and multiple plumbing issues in October 2022 covering various fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, which resulted in violations being issued. Earlier complaints provide additional context about the building's condition. In October 2022, there were documented problems with water supply systems and damp spots, along with an issue regarding ceiling paint/plaster.

A complaint filed in March 2021 regarding permit issues was closed due to insufficient information to locate the address. While many of the more recent complaints (2022-2023) have been closed after inspections or corrections, the inability of HPD to gain access during the most recent heating complaints raises potential concerns about current building conditions. The property's documented history suggests recurring issues with heating systems and plumbing infrastructure, along with occasional electrical problems, which appear to have impacted resident comfort and building systems over the years.
