4470 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The five-story, 20-unit building at 4470 Park Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Consolato Cicciu, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025. The most recent incidents include a water leak in May 2025 and multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, with similar problems documented consistently since December 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating system issues were severe enough to warrant emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has also faced several other maintenance challenges, including two open violations from late 2024: one regarding defective hot water service in Apartment 2C and another concerning a locked boiler room door. Previous violations from late 2024-2023 include issues with fire escape egress, carbon monoxide detector functionality in Apartment 5B, and various safety and maintenance concerns in common areas. While there were documented rodent issues in 2024-2025 with initial inspections showing rat activity, the building passed compliance inspections in July 2025 and December 2024.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reports filed between 2020 and 2025 showing any affected units. The property's recent history reveals persistent problems with essential services, particularly heating and hot water systems, despite regular maintenance response and resolution reporting. The building's age (constructed in 1912) and classification as a New Law Tenement may contribute to these ongoing infrastructure challenges. Regular compliance inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations suggest some level of active building management, though the pattern of recurring service issues raises concerns about system reliability.
