3950 Secor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 3950 Secor Avenue in Edenwald, owned by Griselda Alvarez, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Recent concerns include multiple water-related problems, with the most recent complaints in October 2023 involving slow leaks, along with ventilation system issues and pest-related complaints, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but showed no violations.

The building has a notable history of heat and hot water complaints, particularly during 2022 when multiple emergency reports were logged between March and November regarding inadequate heat/hot water supply in various apartments. Other maintenance issues have included plumbing problems affecting bathtubs, showers, sinks, and radiators in 2021-2022, as well as concerns with paint/plaster maintenance.

The property currently has several outstanding violations requiring attention, including an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, an open Class A violation from August 2023 concerning mortar joint repairs at the front stoop, and previous violations related to a defective entrance door in Apartment 3 and heating system access concerns from 2021. While the building's most recent bedbug report from 2021-2020 indicated no infestations, the outstanding bedbug reporting violation suggests this matter requires follow-up. The comprehensive history of service requests and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water systems and heating infrastructure, though many previous complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, which typically found no violations issued.
