4053 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466
The 52-unit, 5-story building at 4053 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Dennis Ovalle, has experienced several significant incidents since 2022. Most notably, in January 2023, the building suffered severe fire damage affecting multiple floors, particularly the 4th and 5th floors, resulting in active violations for structural concerns and requiring immediate emergency repairs. The building's management has faced multiple challenges with heat and hot water systems in late 2022, with six complaints across November-December 2022 documenting these issues, though most were resolved through HPD intervention.
More recently, in 2024 and 2025, there have been concerns about construction-related issues, including lead dust (March 2024 complaint still in progress) and scaffolding safety concerns, though inspections generally found no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and infrastructure issues, including multiple complaints about toilet and bathtub/shower problems in late 2022. While the building has maintained relatively good rodent control, with recent inspections passing, there have been historical issues noted between 2009 and 2013.
The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestations in recent years, with only one documented case in 2021-2022. Current active violations include pending inspection issues regarding fire damage and failure to file certain inspection reports, suggesting ongoing concerns with building maintenance and compliance. The property also appears to have recent violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements, indicating potential issues with building systems and compliance with current regulations.
