3959 Amundson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

3959 Amundson Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Edenwald, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Nicole Jean-louis. The building has experienced persistent plumbing and electrical issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed between April and June 2025 regarding water supply problems, heat and hot water issues, and various electrical concerns including wiring, power outages, and inadequate lighting. Notably, between April and May 2025, there were six separate water supply complaints and two heat/hot water complaints, all of which ended with HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for inspection.

The building currently has multiple open violations from November 2024 related to Unit 2, including electrical wiring problems, water supply issues, and concerns about rodent and pest infestations. The Department of Buildings has two recorded complaints about alleged illegal apartment conversions from late 2023 and mid-2024, both of which were closed due to inability to gain access during inspection attempts. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back to 2018, with active Environmental Control Board violations regarding work conducted without permits and unauthorized Class A apartment occupancy, each carrying a penalty of $6,250.00.

More recent violations from November 2024 in Unit 2 include broken tiles, defective bathtub finish, plaster and paint issues, water leaks, and pest infestations, as well as concerns about defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A rodent inspection from 2016 shows mixed results, passing in September but failing in August for unspecified reasons. The building's ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water supply, heating, and electrical systems, suggest significant infrastructure issues that have persisted over time, with multiple instances of inspection access denial complicating resolution efforts.
