3537 Palmer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 3537 Palmer Avenue in the Edenwald neighborhood, owned by Francella Barrett and constructed in 1988, is currently facing several notable issues as of mid-2025. Most concerning is an open Indoor Air Quality complaint from September 2024 involving chemical vapors, gases, or odors, which prompted a notification to the property owner for corrective action.

The building also has multiple open Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four notices of violation between March and April 2024 indicating that the annual bedbug report was not filed according to HPD rules. The property has experienced various safety and compliance issues since 2022, including multiple violations in September 2022.

These violations, which have since been closed, included requirements for properly posting building safety notices in English and Spanish, maintaining self-closing doors at the building entrance and in Apartment 3, and displaying notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements. Interestingly, the bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance from 2019-2021, with no infested or re-infested units reported during that period, though the open violations in 2024 suggest possible oversight in the most recent reporting period. While the building is relatively young compared to many NYC structures, these recent and unresolved issues regarding both indoor air quality and bedbug reporting raise ongoing concerns about maintenance and compliance.
