3550 Palmer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, three-story building at 3550 Palmer Avenue in Edenwald, owned by Toni Johnson, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues throughout 2023, with the most recent incidents occurring in October. Most notably, there were two emergency heat and hot water complaints in October 2023, though inspections found one to be a duplicate of another tenant's complaint. Earlier in 2023, the building faced multiple sanitation and maintenance challenges, including violations related to pests, mold, and water leaks (specifically damp spots) in June.

That same month, there were several complaints about indoor air quality issues, including sewage odors and at least one attempted inspection for rodent sightings. While some of these complaints resulted in violations and advisories to the property owner, others were closed without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history since 2023 reveals persistent challenges with basic services and living conditions, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems.

The property's documented issues suggest ongoing concerns with building maintenance and resident comfort, particularly during periods requiring heating. While some complaints were resolved through inspections and notifications to the owner, the pattern of multiple complaints over several months indicates potential systemic issues requiring attention. The building's age (constructed in 1989) and its designation as a "hereafter erected class A" building provide context, though the primary focus remains on the specific maintenance history documented through city service requests.
