3536 Cambridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 31-unit, 8-story building at 3536 Cambridge Avenue in Riverdale, constructed in 2005 and owned by Mark Ndreca, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. There have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in 2025, including both building-wide and apartment-specific incidents in January, March, and most recently in March, with the most recent complaint also involving a plumbing emergency. The building's elevator system has also emerged as a concern, with two active complaints as of June 2025 regarding a single-device operation with no alternate service.

Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, including failures to file required documentation between 2018-2024, and a recent Cycle 9C unsafe report filed in 2023. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual reporting periods since 2019. However, there have been several significant building maintenance issues documented through various agency inspections, including safety concerns about the building's facade in 2023 which resulted in a $10,000 penalty (though marked as resolved) for inadequate safety measures.

Other notable violations include issues with compliance inspections where inspectors were unable to gain access, and a $2,500 penalty in 2024 related to inadequate visibility markings on a sidewalk shed. The building has had some history of unauthorized work, with a complaint in 2025 about illegal after-hours work, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claim. While the building has multiple active violations as of 2025, particularly relating to inspection filings, it has generally demonstrated responsiveness to complaints when inspections are successfully conducted, with many issues being resolved through correction rather than ongoing noncompliance.
