2739 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-unit, two-story residential building at 2739 Wallace Avenue in Allerton, owned by Xiao Zhang, has a documented history of various maintenance and safety issues since 2017. Most notably, in December 2017, multiple violations were found in apartment 4, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate heating, and defective plastered surfaces in the kitchen.

The building underwent several inspections between 2017-2022 that revealed various safety concerns, such as fire escape issues, problems with the scuttle ladder, and encumbrances in common areas. While the building faced pest-related complaints in 2019 and multiple rodent issues in 2017-2018 requiring bait applications, recent records indicate significant improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported from 2022 to present and a passed rodent inspection in 2024. The most serious recent concern was an electrical wiring issue reported in March 2025, though inspection access was not granted.

Current bedbug reporting shows consistent compliance with zero infestations since 2019, and the building has passed its most recent rodent inspection in March 2024. The property appears to have stabilized regarding major violations, with most historical issues being resolved, as evidenced by multiple violations being marked as "Close." Regular bedbug reporting and rodent inspections have been conducted consistently, suggesting ongoing management of these issues. The building's last significant violation related to safety equipment (smoke detectors) was in 2017-2018, when multiple violations were issued regarding missing safety devices in apartment 4, though records show these were certified as corrected.
