3319 Palmer Avenue, Bronx, NY 10475

The two-story, three-unit building at 3319 Palmer Avenue in Eastchester, owned by Kamal Boothe, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In November 2024, the property generated multiple emergency service requests related to plumbing problems (specifically concerning a bathtub/shower and a sink), a ceiling paint/plaster issue, and a heavy water leak.

While HPD conducted inspections in response to these complaints, they were unable to complete the inspections for the plumbing issues, and while no violations were issued for the other complaints, the inability to fully assess the plumbing problems remains noteworthy. The building has a history of bedbug reporting violations, with documented violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

However, more recent filings from 2022-2025 show no evidence of bedbug infestation, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units across multiple filing periods. This suggests that the building has successfully addressed its bedbug issues since the violations were recorded, though there was a notable period of non-compliance in early 2022. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the last known violations in 2022, as evidenced by the regular filings showing no infestations.
