3952 Secor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3952 Secor Avenue in Edenwald, owned by Francis Ayisi, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced various maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in December 2023, there were plumbing issues with a sink/basin that were resolved within two days, while another complaint regarding wall paint/plaster required four months to address due to access issues.

The building has an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which has been recurring annually since 2021. A significant plumbing problem involving radiators was documented in 2019, and the Department of Buildings received complaints in 2018-2019 about illegal work, permit issues, and unauthorized conversion, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify these claims. The property has faced several infrastructure challenges that have impacted resident comfort, including multiple plumbing issues (radiator problems in 2019 and sink/basin issues in 2023), and maintenance concerns such as missing radiator covers and door mechanisms in Apartment 2.

A concerning rodent issue was documented in 2018 in Apartment 1, with violations for both pest control and refuse accumulation. While a December 2018 compliance inspection passed, an initial inspection in October 2018 failed for "Other Reasons" related to rodent presence. The building has maintained a general structure as a Class A residence, but these ongoing violations and service requests suggest recurring maintenance challenges that have affected various units throughout the building's history.
