4040 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466
The 50-unit, 5-story tenement building at 4040 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Besnik Celaj, dates back to 1922 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were multiple concerning incidents including water leaks (June), and safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (March), with HPD inspections being either incomplete or requiring follow-up service requests. Between January and March 2025, there was a notable pattern of heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, documented through multiple complaints, though some were resolved after HPD intervention.
Additional issues included cabinet problems (March 2025) and a mold complaint (January 2025), suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has been actively monitored for various compliance issues, with securities violations regarding fire escape access and maintenance being prominent. A July 2024 inspection revealed open violations related to defective brick and mortar joints, while several other violations concerning fire escape obstruction and waste accumulation in common areas were successfully addressed.
From a pest control perspective, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status over the past several reporting periods (2021-2024), though rodent activity remains a persistent concern. Recent inspections from 2022-2025 have consistently documented rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspections in 2025 and December 2024 showing ongoing challenges in this area. The building's energy efficiency documentation requirements have also been a point of attention, with active violations related to display and benchmarking compliance as of 2021-2025.
