4250 Van Cortlandt Park E, Bronx, NY 10470

The six-story, 53-unit building at 4250 Van Cortlandt Park E in Woodlawn, owned by Kenneth Yustman, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2022, with the most significant concerns centering around heat/hot water systems and water-related problems. Between October 2022 and April 2024, there have been multiple complaints and emergency service requests related to heat and hot water availability, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

More recent issues include plumbing and water supply concerns, with complaints filed in late 2023 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues. A specific apartment (1J) has been the focus of several violations, particularly in late 2022, including problems with mold, pest infestations, water leaks, and interior damage, though some of these violations were subsequently closed following repairs. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, culminating in complaints about heavy water leaks and water supply problems in late 2023.

While the property has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years (2020 and 2023), and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last five years, the recurring nature of heating systems and water-related problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The Department of Buildings has not issued any significant recent violations, and there was one boiler-related complaint in early 2022 that was found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection. The building has undergone some permitting activity in 2019, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the provided data.
