3411 Irwin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

3411 Irwin Avenue, a 20-story, 401-unit residential building in Kingsbridge constructed in 1962, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Between March and May 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints affecting the entire building, which appear to be recurring issues. More recently, in May 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified rodent activity on the property, marking the fourth consecutive year with documented rodent problems, despite previous inspections showing a mix of passed and failed results.

The building has also faced electrical and structural challenges, including ongoing issues with its sidewalk shed system, which has accumulated multiple violations and penalties ranging from $1,250 to $10,000 since 2023. The property has documented a concerning pattern of maintenance and safety compliance issues. Recent inspections have revealed problems with building systems, including heating and water supply, though some complaints were resolved promptly.

Apartment 7A had several violations noted in December 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, hardwood floors, and missing safety devices. The building's structure has come under scrutiny, with active violations recorded in 2024 regarding cracks in balconies and concrete components. Additionally, the building's bedbug reporting history indicates periodic infestations, with the most recent report showing 18 units affected in 2023-2024. The property owner, Joseph Nikc, has undertaken some remediation efforts, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances and closed violations, but many issues remain either open or have been reoccurring over time.
