Questions about this building

Does 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx had 28 open violations on September 27, 2026: 24 from HPD and 4 from OATH/ECB. 11 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 20 months, since January 10, 2025.

Is 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 15 certifications filed against 5 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 41 Class C violations, all 41 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 2 of them Invalid Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases. The newest opened February 2, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened January 15, 2025, awarded for $587. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What did the latest facade report find at 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed October 13, 2025 (inspection cycle 10). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Does 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued January 8, 2013. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx?

ENERGY STAR score 80 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When did 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On May 5, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 2008 as the year 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a condominium with 11 floors.

How many apartments does 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 280 residential units at 3952 3 Avenue, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
