3214 Kingsbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 6-story, 54-unit building at 3214 Kingsbridge Avenue, owned by Costas Kreatsoulas and constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water maintenance, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints between October 2024 and January 2025, including one recent complaint in January 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building has also faced some persistent maintenance challenges, with violations related to security features at the vestibule door and a notable mold problem that emerged in mid-2024.

Specifically, there are open violations from July 2024 regarding an electromagnetic locking device and mold conditions in both the lobby and apartment 2D, which include issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and reported pest infestations. While the building has shown some improvement in recent years regarding pest control measures, there was a significant infestation in 2019 (6 units affected), though recent reports from 2022-2024 indicate no such issues. The property has maintained reasonably good compliance with rodent control, passing inspections in 2018, 2017, and 2013, despite reporting some rat activity in 2017.

Recent building management has also faced challenges with meeting energy reporting requirements, having active violations as of late 2022 related to energy efficiency score display and benchmarking report submissions. Two building system complaints from 2022 regarding elevator service and electrical wiring were resolved without finding any violations. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to major system components (like heat and security) while also addressing various individual unit concerns as they arise.
