3635 Johnson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

The 82-unit, 6-story residential building at 3635 Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, owned by Jim Buckley and constructed in 1954, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues over the past several years. Most concerning is a recent emergency heat/hot water complaint from June 2025 affecting the entire building, which follows a similar emergency complaint from December 2019, demonstrating recurring heating system problems.

The building faced multiple violations in 2020, including both exterior maintenance issues - specifically citing cracks in balcony slabs and improperly maintained flower boxes - for which penalties were imposed, though the violations were ultimately resolved. Rodent control appears to have been adequately managed, with inspections in 2020 passing and no recent complaints filed, while indoor air quality was flagged as a concern in 2022, though this was addressed through official communication to the management. The building's bedbug situation appears relatively controlled in recent years, with no reported infestations in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 reporting periods, though there was one documented case in 2021-2022 which was reported as eradicated.

The property has been subject to multiple inspections and compliance checks, including Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and COVID-19 Executive Order compliance, both of which found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's management has obtained necessary permits for various maintenance work, including an issued permit in July 2019 for work classified as EW. While past violation history and heating system issues raise some concerns, the recent years' data shows no major recurring issues, particularly in terms of pest management and structural violations.
