2912 Wickham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2912 Wickham Avenue in Baychester, built in 2015 and owned by Michael R, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2A). Most recently, in February 2023, the apartment faced multiple health and safety concerns, including violations for pests (specific infestations of mice and roaches), and issues with the ceiling's plaster and paint. While the gas range problem reported the same day was investigated without resulting in violations, the building's overall condition has shown recurring problems with basic services.

The property has experienced multiple heat and hot water-related issues, with emergency complaints recorded in April 2022 (including violations for inadequate hot water) and December 2022. Other documented concerns include a power outage and intercom system problems in September 2022, an indoor air quality issue in November 2022, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in October 2022. The building's maintenance record reveals a pattern of urgent repair needs, particularly in 2022-2023, though most of these issues have been marked as corrected through the proper inspection and certification processes.

Violations specifically affecting apartment 2A, including pest infestations and ceiling repair needs, were certified as corrected between March and May 2023. The property has had multiple interactions with various city agencies, primarily the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), suggesting regular oversight of these recurring issues. While many past violations have been resolved, the building's history indicates persistent challenges with basic building systems and maintenance standards, particularly in the areas of heating, pest control, and general upkeep.
