3240 Riverdale Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 6-story building at 3240 Riverdale Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by John White, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding water-related problems and unsanitary conditions. Most notably in April 2025, there were multiple complaints about mold, water leaks, and paint/plaster issues affecting both walls and ceilings, with HPD issuing violations that require the owner to correct the conditions. The building has a concerning pattern of water-related issues, with both heavy flow and slow leaks reported in 2025 and 2024 respectively.

Other recurring issues include pest infestations, with complaints in both 2024 and 2025, though the most recent bedbug report from March 2024 indicated zero infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts. The property has several open violations and past safety concerns that require attention. A retaining wall issue was documented in December 2021 with hairline cracks observed along its length, while an unsafe façade notification was issued in March 2022. Multiple inspection attempts in 2024 were met with access issues, making it difficult for inspectors to verify conditions.

There have also been historical concerns about building safety features, with violations in 2021 regarding missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 5D. The building's heating system experienced an entire building complaint in December 2024, though this was resolved. Recent 311 complaints reveal persistent maintenance challenges, including plaster issues and unsanitary conditions that are taking time to address. While many historical violations have been closed, there are still active concerns requiring monitoring and follow-up.
