4059 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10466

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 4059 White Plains Road in Wakefield, owned by Joseph Rabanipour, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems between 2022 and 2024, including five separate building-wide emergencies documented through 311 service requests. More recently, in late 2024, there was another heat/hot water emergency that was promptly resolved within 24 hours. The building has also faced water-related challenges, with violations recorded in late 2022 through 2023 for both slow and heavy water leaks.

A significant portion of the recent violations, documented during a 2024 inspection, relate to lead paint hazards in Apartment 2R, including multiple Class C violations requiring correction of presumed lead paint that is peeling or on deteriorated surfaces. These violations include issues with walls, doors, and various surfaces throughout the apartment, as well as problems with water leak repairs in the bathroom ceiling. The building's maintenance history shows attempts to address various maintenance issues, with violations related to window and door conditions, unsanitary mold issues, and building systems requiring attention.

Between 2018 and 2023, there were multiple violations issued for failure to file the required Low Pressure External Inspections, though these were subsequently dismissed. A recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no infestations, and previous rodent inspections in 2011 and 2022 resulted in passing grades, suggesting relative stability in pest management. While the building's age (built in 1930) and history of plumbing and heating issues are notable, the owner appears to respond to emergencies as they arise, with most recent complaints showing prompt resolution through HPD verification.
