3605 Kingsbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 6-story, 66-unit property at 3605 Kingsbridge Avenue, owned by Konstantine Nalpantidis and built in 1929, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. From December 2024 to March 2025, there were multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, totaling at least seven separate incidents, with one instance classified as an emergency. Additionally, there have been recurring elevator maintenance issues, with three complaints in the same period, including one emergency complaint in March 2025.

A notable safety concern emerged in February 2025 when violations were issued regarding the building's fire escape, though the specific conditions requiring correction were not detailed in the available data. The most recent building inspections (March 2025) revealed serious structural concerns, particularly regarding cracked and loose masonry bricks and deteriorated lintels in the courtyards of wings 3 West and 4 North, resulting in a partial vacate order for those areas due to hazardous conditions. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly during its more recent years.

In 2020, multiple Electrical Wiring and Scaffold-related violations were recorded, including issues with defective wiring and unsafe electrical equipment. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years (2023, 2019), though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2018 and 2014. The building's annual bedbug reporting records (2021-2024) show no reported infestations. The Department of Buildings currently lists several active violations related to courtyard safety, requiring immediate attention to address cracked masonry and provide appropriate safety measures.
