3946 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 7-unit, 3-story building at 3946 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Alon Ashourzadeh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2022. A cluster of housing maintenance code complaints was filed in August-September 2022, including multiple reports of water leaks (heavy flow), plumbing issues (bathtubs, showers, sinks), door/window problems (including frames and panes), electrical issues, and appliance problems relating to refrigerators.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections resulting in multiple violations, particularly affecting the 6th-floor apartment (6R), where issues with the roof causing leaks over ceilings in the bathroom and other areas were documented, along with problems with the kitchen cabinet, plastered surfaces, and other fixtures. While most of these violations were certified as closed between November-December 2022, several remained open as of the latest inspections, including concerns about the fireproof door, window glass, faucets, and plastered surfaces. The building's maintenance history shows attention to rodent control, with an inspection pass in October 2022, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings (2024, 2023, 2022) showing zero infested or eradicated units.

The property, built in 1931 and classified as a New Law Tenement, underwent typical aging building issues, primarily centered around water-related problems, door/window maintenance, and various appliance concerns. All violations and complaints from 2022 have been addressed, though some remain open according to the latest available data, suggesting ongoing maintenance requirements. Since these issues primarily occurred in 2022, more recent cases or complaints would need to be monitored for current conditions as we are now in July 2025.
