3939 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10466

This three-story New Law tenement building at 3939 White Plains Road in Wakefield, owned by Uzi Shvut and constructed in 1901, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2021 that warrant attention. The most significant recent concerns include multiple heat and hot water system failures, particularly during the winter months of 2021, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in December 2021 affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

Open violations remain as of 2024 related to inadequate hot water supply in apartment 3F, access issues to the heating system, and leaky bathroom faucets. The building has also maintained an active status regarding external low pressure inspections, with multiple violations issued between 2018 and 2024 for failing to file required inspection reports. Additional historical issues include egress concerns, with multiple complaints about blocked or improperly functioning exits in 2019 and 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts.

The building's maintenance history shows repeated problems with basic services between 2021-2022, including plumbing and electrical issues, with HPD inspections resulting in both violations and some complaints with no violations found upon inspection. While the building has filed annual bedbug reports from 2021-2023 showing no infested units, there are open violation cases regarding mouse infestation in apartment 2R as of late 2021. The property has also experienced a series of heat and hot water system failures throughout 2021, with complaints spanning from May to December of that year, indicating ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
