3930 Murdock Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3930 Murdock Avenue in Edenwald, owned by Jose Espinal and constructed in 2008, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, in March 2022, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint that resulted in violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In 2023 and 2024, multiple safety-related violations were documented, including problems with the building's security, inspection certificate display, and safety equipment notifications.

Specifically, there were violations regarding the posting of smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the housing information guide availability notice, all of which remain open as of 2024. A significant security issue was identified in January 2024, when the building's entrance lock was found to be broken or defective, though this violation was subsequently closed. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged regarding building systems and infrastructure.

In May 2023, violations were issued for missing water heater pressure relief piping and problematic plaster surfaces in the boiler room of Apartment 2, though these were ultimately addressed by October 2023. The building's history shows adequate pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations during the most recent monitoring period from November 2022 to October 2023. While many violations from previous years have been resolved, the persistence of several open violations as of 2024 regarding safety signage and building requirements indicates ongoing compliance challenges.
