2918 Wickham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 2918 Wickham Avenue in Baychester, owned by Mike Bryan, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2023, a heat and hot water complaint was filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartment(s) for verification.

This followed a similar incident in March 2022, when HPD responded to a heat and hot water complaint and was informed by a tenant that the services had been restored prior to inspection. Both incidents were classified as emergency situations under the Housing Maintenance Code and were officially closed in accordance with standard procedures.

The building, which was constructed in 2008, has had these two notable heating system-related complaints on record. While each incident was addressed through the appropriate regulatory channels, the recurring nature of these heat and hot water issues over a two-year period may suggest ongoing challenges with the building's heating infrastructure. The relatively recent nature of these complaints, particularly the April 2023 incident, indicates that this has been a persistent concern for residents, despite HPD's involvement in each case.
