4678 Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 4678 Park Avenue in Belmont, owned by Francella Parrish, has experienced persistent heating system challenges over the past year and a half. Since December 2024 through February 2025, there have been multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with three separate incidents occurring in December 2024 alone. While most complaints were resolved following HPD inspections, several were marked as requiring new complaints if issues persisted.

In addition to the heating problems, Apartment 4A has documented lead paint hazards identified during an October 2024 inspection, affecting various areas including the kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, though these violations were subsequently closed. Other outstanding issues from September 2024 inspections included defective plaster surfaces and problems with the kitchen gas supply in Apartment 4A, as well as a security-related violation at the first-story vestibule door. The building has demonstrated varying rodent activity in recent inspections, with initial inspections in March 2024 and March 2025 noting rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections showed passing results.

The property appears to have maintained regulatory compliance regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2021, and all heating complaints during this period were addressed through standard HPD procedures without resulting in active housing violations. The building's documented history also shows regular rodent inspections, with most recent results indicating passing compliance, though there were initial failures noted in some inspections. Two permits were issued in 2019 related to alteration work, although the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the available records.
