3980 Paulding Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 3980 Paulding Avenue in Wakefield, built in 1940 and currently owned by Alvin Mc Lorrain, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly in 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed between April and July. The building is currently facing several open violations as of 2024-2025, particularly regarding safety and maintenance requirements including unfiled annual bedbug reports (from 2023-2024), improper gas leak notification procedures, missing carbon monoxide detector notices, and a defective rear yard gate lock.

The property has a history of infrastructure challenges, including a power outage incident in June 2022, and multiple heating system-related complaints in both 2020 and 2022 that required HPD inspection. The building had several documented violations in July 2022 including issues with the mailboxes, which was a documented problem earlier that year, and various safety notice requirements that need to be posted in common areas.

A Department of Buildings permit was issued in February 2021, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that some complaints were closed without violations being issued, and one heating complaint from April 2022 resulted in violations. The concentration of heating and maintenance complaints, particularly during 2022, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure that require attention.
