4350 Katonah Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The 57-unit, 5-story residential building at 4350 Katonah Avenue in Woodlawn, owned by Woodlawn 278-305, LLC, has experienced a significant number of maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing food poisoning complaint filed with DOHMH in May 2025, which remains unresolved as of this report date. Between February and March 2025, there were numerous heat and hot water complaints, particularly affecting the entire building, with some incidents showing temporary resolution and others being closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has also faced multiple emergency maintenance issues in April 2025, including problems with electrical wiring, plumbing, safety concerns with the fire escape, and various appliance malfunctions. The property has documented violations related to pest infestations, particularly in apartment 2J, where issues with roaches, vermin, and flies were noted in 2024 inspections. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of 2025, including problems with plumbing fixtures, door functionality, and fire safety equipment in apartments 2J and 4K.

There have been several construction-related complaints and violations since 2018, including work done without proper permits and maintenance deficiencies that resulted in partial vacate orders. The building's history shows periodic issues with bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (2024) indicating one affected unit, though this was apparently eradicated. While a rodent inspection in March 2023 passed, other environmental control board violations from 2021-2024 suggest ongoing compliance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1927) and recent pattern of maintenance issues indicate potential concerns with building systems and infrastructure stability.
