3030 Johnson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

3030 Johnson Avenue is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building built in 1966 and currently owned by Jorge Romero. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with official complaints filed in November 2024, January 2024, and previously in January 2022, though the most recent complaint was marked as an emergency and closed without verification of conditions. A pattern of maintenance concerns emerged particularly between 2022 and 2024, including multiple plumbing issues (water supply problems, toilet and sink concerns), an electrical lighting failure, mold problems, and an appliance issue with the electric/gas range.

Two significant violations were documented in apartment 1J in 2023 related to inadequate bathroom cold water supply and defective vinyl floor tiles, though these were certified for correction by May 2023. The building's maintenance history shows attempts to address various issues, with several emergency repairs documented through HPD and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. The Department of Buildings issued multiple inspections between 2023-2025, including compliance inspections for Local Law 188/17, though they generally found no violations warranting citation, with the exception of a historic 2020 facade repair violation that was resolved with a penalty of $2,500.

Recent bedbug reports indicate one infested unit in 2024, though previous years showed no documented infestations. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2019, passing one compliance test and failing another for unspecified reasons. While there have been numerous repairs and complaints over recent years, many were resolved without major violations being issued, though the recurring nature of heat/hot water and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
