3929 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 36-unit, 6-story apartment building at 3929 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, constructed in 1957 and currently owned by Anthony Gazivoda, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring issue with heat and hot water systems in early 2025, with multiple complaints between March and April. The building has also faced pest-related problems, with a recent unsanitary condition report regarding pests in May 2025 being closed due to lack of access for inspection.

Between 2020-2023, several major infrastructure and safety concerns were documented, including multiple elevator service interruptions, boiler system violations, and building structure-related complaints. The elevator, which is the building's only transport device, has a history of problematic service, with documented issues in 2021-2023 resulting in ECB violations and a $1,250 penalty in 2023 for door-related safety concerns. Recent inspections have revealed persistent rodent activity, with compliance inspections in 2025 noting the presence of rats.

The building has also faced various health and safety violations, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with garbage and recycling storage. Apartment 2C was cited in late 2024 for multiple violations including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), hot water temperature issues, and various maintenance concerns including water leaks, mold, and plaster damage. The property has active ECB violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements, including failure to submit required documentation for FISP Cycle 9A and energy benchmarking reports, with penalties totaling $13,750 for various violations. Despite these ongoing challenges, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status based on official filings since 2019.
