4000 Lowerre Place, Bronx, NY 10466

4000 Lowerre Place is a 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building located in Wakefield, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Audrey Phillibert. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being two building stability complaints in August and September 2023, which led to an active ECB violation for failure to maintain code compliance due to missing bricks at the corners, carrying a penalty of $625.00.

The property has documented electrical infrastructure problems, particularly in 2019, when multiple complaints about outlets and a power outage were recorded, resulting in various HPD violations including unsafe electrical wiring conditions in apartment C2, where multiple maintenance issues were concentrated. The building has shown improvement in pest management, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 indicating no infested or eradicated units, and a rodent inspection in 2022 resulting in a passed inspection, though earlier inspections in 2015 had failed for unspecified reasons. The building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, including a 2023 water leak problem in apartment A2, a 2021 door repair issue in apartment A2, and multiple violations in 2019 involving interior maintenance needs throughout apartment C2, such as plaster repair, electrical outlet issues, paint requirements, and smoke detector repairs.

While many of these violations have been closed, there is a concerning pattern of infrastructure-related complaints, particularly regarding electrical systems and building stability. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, and a recent rodent inspection in 2022 suggests improved pest management, though the 2015 failures raise historical concerns in this area. The building's age and history of violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to its electrical systems and structural components, though recent improvements in pest management and bedbug compliance are noted.
