3520 Grace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, four-unit tenement at 3520 Grace Avenue in Edenwald, built in 1932 and currently owned by Roy Langlais, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2019 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding various building systems. These included sanitary conditions, electrical issues (including a power outage), flooring problems, and plumbing concerns affecting both radiators and bathroom fixtures.

The inspections during this period resulted in several violations, particularly regarding plumbing and window frame conditions, though many subsequent HPD inspections found no violations. More recently, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control compliance, with no infestations reported in the past four years from 2021 through 2025. The most recent building maintenance inspections (through October 2023) have shown improvements in various aspects, particularly regarding safety systems.

The building's records indicate that violations related to life safety systems (such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) were addressed, with these systems now properly maintained according to recent bedbug reporting records. The property owner has been diligent in submitting annual bedbug reports, consistently showing zero affected units and indicating effective pest management practices. While there were significant maintenance challenges in 2019, particularly in the fourth apartment, the building appears to have stabilized in recent years, with no new major complaints or violations recorded after 2019.
