2945 Wickham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2945 Wickham Avenue in Baychester, owned by Michel Madie, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, the property received multiple violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) concerning apartment 2 on the second floor, including problems with electrical outlets, lighting fixtures, floor irregularities, plumbing fixtures, door issues, and pest infestations (mice and roaches). The building also has an open violation regarding a defective electrical outlet in the kitchen, which is currently classified as a "B" violation.

In September 2021, the property had violations related to mold and wall maintenance. The building's history shows ongoing rodent control challenges, with records indicating repeated "Failed for Other Reasons" results in inspections between 2013 and 2019. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests, with the most recent bedbug reports in 2024 and early 2025 showing no infestations.

A sewage odor complaint was reported in April 2024, though this was addressed with an advisory from the Department of Health. A heavy water leak investigation in September 2021 was conducted with no violations found. The building's age (constructed in 1901) and its ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in the past two years, suggest significant attention is needed to address persistent habitability concerns. The property has maintained annual bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the last two cycles.
