4580 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The five-story, 16-unit tenement building at 4580 Park Avenue in Belmont, owned by Heng Ly and constructed in 1909, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly involving water and heat systems. As of March 2025, there are multiple open complaints including a slow water leak, window frame issues, and problems with basins/sinks and radiators, all requiring tenant access for repairs. The building has faced recurring heating problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in October 2024 that HPD could not inspect due to access issues.

Significant violations were documented in 2024, particularly in apartment 4C, including issues with pest infestations, water leaks, damaged plaster surfaces, and a defective carbon monoxide detecting device, though some violations have since been closed. The property has a concerning history of plumbing issues, with multiple water leak complaints between 2023-2025, including a heavy flow leak and multiple slow leaks. The building's infrastructure has also shown age-related challenges, with Department of Buildings violations for failure to file annual boiler inspections in 2017-2019 remaining active as of June 2023. An active Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 relates to backflow prevention equipment on the boiler.

While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention with zero cases reported between 2019-2024, there have been challenges with rodent control, particularly in 2023-2024 when several inspections indicated rat activity, though the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 have passed. The property history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, particularly water-related issues, though some improvements have been noted with recent rodent inspections passing. The building's age and history of heating, plumbing, and water issues indicate significant maintenance requirements, with multiple open complaints requiring resolution as of March 2025. The current management, under ownership of Heng Ly, has had to address various infrastructure challenges while maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and undergoing regular rodent inspections.
