4478 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
The 5-story, 31-unit tenement building at 4478 Park Avenue in Belmont, owned by Elaine Steele, has experienced significant recurring issues with heating and hot water systems in 2025, with multiple complaints (both emergency and non-emergency) filed between March and April 2025. These heating system problems affected both individual apartments and the entire building, with some complaints remaining in duplicate status due to HPD's access challenges.
The building has also shown concerning infrastructure challenges, including multiple heavy water leak complaints (March 2025) and issues with steam pipes/riser plumbing, as well as more recent violations related to paint and plaster conditions in March 2025. The property has an active ECB violation from July 2018 regarding boiler system maintenance, though recent bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show minimal issues with only two reported cases (both eradicated). Recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) indicate some ongoing pest management challenges, with multiple instances of rat activity detected in 2024.
Two significant open violations remain from 2024 regarding requests to paint all walls and ceilings in Apartment 24. The building's historical maintenance record shows various safety and repair issues, including problems with self-closing doors in common areas and several apartments, as well as concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, though most previously issued violations from 2024-2025 have been closed or certified. Separate complaints regarding scaffolding (2022) and enforcement work (2022) were inspected but resulted in no violations.
