3121 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The property at 3121 East Tremont Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1931 and owned by Vito Caputo. The building has experienced recurring heat/hot water issues over several years, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025, most recently in April 2025. These issues sometimes prevented HPD inspections, though some complaints were resolved upon verification by tenants.

Other significant concerns have included plumbing problems (most recently in April 2025), a power outage (May 2025), and an open pest-related complaint (June 2025). The building has documented safety violations from 2022, including issues with the fire escape and window guards, though these were reportedly corrected. Recent developments include two active illegal conversion complaints filed in May 2025, with inspection attempts in June 2025 failing due to inability to gain access.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reports. Rodent inspections between 2016 and 2019 show one failed inspection for "Other Reasons" in 2016, but passed inspections in 2017 and 2019. The property has a history of requiring multiple follow-up inspections and complaint filings, as access issues have often prevented HPD from fully investigating reported problems. While some complaints have been resolved, the recurring nature of heat/water issues and recent illegal conversion complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance concerns.
