3699 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family building at 3699 Eastchester Road in Edenwald, currently owned by Starvo Holdings LLC, has experienced several significant issues over the past two years, particularly regarding safety and health compliance. Most recently, in December 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding fire escape safety and window conditions, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in these cases. The building has persistent problems with pests, evidenced by multiple complaints throughout 2023-2024, and inspections in early 2024 identified rat activity on the property.

Three open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2023-2024 are particularly concerning: one regards the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, while another notes improper installation of a carbon monoxide detector. Additional ongoing violations involve problems with self-closing doors, smoke detector placement, and hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 3B. The first-floor Apartment 1B has documented violations regarding fire egress and self-closing door functionality. The building has a concerning history of maintenance issues that impact resident safety and comfort, including multiple complaints about pest infestations, window problems, and safety equipment.

While many prior complaints have been resolved with inspections showing no violations, the persistence of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also faced problems with various building systems and safety features, including mailbox issues, appliance problems, and unsanitary conditions. Inspections have generally been conducted, though with some inability to complete inspections in recent cases. The building's housing maintenance code violations, particularly those concerning safety and health regulations, warrant attention as they indicate areas requiring ongoing monitoring and potential remediation.
