3447 Irwin Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

3447 Irwin Avenue is a two-family residential building located in Kingsbridge, built in 1926 and currently owned by Sion Palacci. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints filed in June 2025, including problems with water leaks, plumbing fixtures (sink and bathtub/shower), electrical outlets, and a door - all categorized as either emergency or non-emergency issues but officially closed within three weeks.

The building's recent history shows patterns of plumbing and water-related concerns, particularly evident in a cluster of complaints during 2023 and 2025. Looking at the building's overall compliance record, there have been two documented attempts to investigate potential illegal conversions (in 2022 and 2023) where access was denied to inspectors, raising concerns about unauthorized alterations to the property's layout. The Department of Buildings has also recorded plumbing issues, though no violations were found during one inspection in 2023.

Water drainage concerns were filed in 2020, but again, access was not granted for inspection. The property has faced ongoing pest management challenges, particularly with rat activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2016 and 2019 showing persistent rodent issues, though the most recent inspection in this regard was not documented. While the building has passed some compliance inspections since 2012, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues reported in recent years suggest a concerning pattern of unresolved building systems problems, particularly in plumbing and water management.
