3541 Ropes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10475

The two-family house at 3541 Ropes Avenue in Eastchester, owned by Rebecca Jiang, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent violations occurring in October 2023. The second-floor apartment (Apt 2) has been particularly affected, with recent violations including plumbing issues with the kitchen sink and wasteline, water leaks affecting the ceiling, and problems with the refrigerator door seal.

The building has experienced recurring appliance problems, particularly with the refrigerator, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests between May and July 2023, some of which resulted in violations. Prior to these recent issues, the building faced several significant problems in late 2022, including heat and hot water outages in November, and multiple unsanitary conditions in September involving mold, pests (specifically roaches), and ceiling damage.

During September 2022, violations were issued for pest infestations and plaster/paint issues, along with safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors. While rodent inspections in 2010 showed mixed results, with one compliance pass and one initial failure, the most recent inspection records do not indicate any rodent-related issues. All identified violations have been closed, though the frequency and variety of maintenance issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the second-floor apartment.
