3412 Wright Avenue, Bronx, NY 10475

The three-story, three-unit building at 3412 Wright Avenue in Eastchester, owned by Christmas Thomas and constructed in 2000, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent incident being a power outage in July 2023 that resulted in open Class C violations regarding inadequate electrical service in Apartment 3. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water system problems, particularly during early 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed for both the entire building and individual apartments, leading to several violations including inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 3, though most of these issues were eventually resolved.

Other significant maintenance events include plumbing problems in 2021 involving toilet and sink issues that resulted in violations, an electrical outlet/switch problem in 2018 with violations issued, and a rat sighting in 2019 that led to a passed inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has demonstrated some positive maintenance practices as evidenced by its most recent bedbug report for the period 2023-2024 indicating no infestations, following two previous years (2022 and 2021) with similar clean records.

A comprehensive inspection in April 2024 resulted in one open Class C violation requiring annual bedbug report filing, while previous inspections had identified various issues in 2022 including maintenance concerns with bathroom fixtures, wall surfaces, and the boiler room access. The property has generally responded to complaints, with most being closed out through inspections and required corrections, though some issues have recurred over time, particularly regarding the heating and hot water systems which appear to represent an ongoing challenge for the building's maintenance.
