3229 Griswold Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

3229 Griswold Avenue is a two-family house built in 1960 and currently owned by Bobby Kumar, located in the Country Club neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2021 when both the entire building and an individual apartment reported emergencies regarding heat and hot water, leading to violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations remain open as of October 2023, specifically noting problems with hot water provision in the first-floor apartment's kitchen and issues with the waste pipe at the bathroom wash basin. The building has a documented history of various maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2019, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems, electrical issues including no lighting, and problems with cooking gas.

Notable violations from 2019 included inadequate heat supply and gas service to kitchen fixtures in the second-floor apartment, as well as concerns about hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in the second-floor kitchen and bathroom. The property has undergone at least one rodent inspection in May 2019, which passed. While some violations from 2019 were ultimately closed, several current issues remain unresolved, particularly those related to heating and hot water systems, which appear to be a persistent problem affecting both apartments in the building.
