3204 Kingsbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

3204 Kingsbridge Avenue is a 54-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Samuel Nolasco. The building has experienced ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in early 2025 with multiple emergency complaints from both entire building and individual apartments about inadequate heat and hot water, some of which were not inspected due to access issues. There are also recurring problems with cooking gas supply, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating inspection access challenges.

The building has two open violations from October 2024 related to security concerns, specifically regarding an electromagnetic locking device at the vestibule door on the first story, and an improper self-closing fire door mechanism on the second story. The property has a history of heating system challenges, with past violations for inadequate heating in individual apartments (e.g., Apartment 1C in 2021), and various building-wide heat complaints. Building management has maintained records showing no current bedbug infestation since 2019, though there were some prior cases between 2017-2019.

The elevator system has been subject to regulatory scrutiny, with a violation in March 2022 regarding door zone restrictor tampering, though this was resolved. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections conducted in 2013, 2017, and 2018, it currently has an active DOB violation (as of December 2021) regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. The property has had multiple repair permits issued in 2019 for various maintenance work, and several HPD inspections have taken place, though access issues have consistently hampered full inspections and resolution of some ongoing concerns.
