4152 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 4152 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Javier Monroy and constructed in 2009, has experienced recurring issues with heating systems and maintenance problems over the past two years. Most notably, from late 2024 to early 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including three emergency complaints in January 2025, December 2024, and November 2024, with December 2024 violations documented for Apartment 2B regarding defective radiators and inadequate heat. The building has also faced persistent sanitation challenges, including multiple pest-related complaints in 2024, with violations issued in October and November 2024, as well as issues with mold and water leaks during the same period.

Additional maintenance concerns were recorded in October 2024 relating to wall conditions. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring since 2019, with reports showing no infested units in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) and ten units reported eradicated in the previous year (2022-2023). Rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2022 showed passing results, with only one instance of rat activity noted in October 2022.

A significant egress-related complaint was filed in 2019, but no violations were found during inspection. While many of these issues have been addressed through HPD inspections and violations, the recurring nature of heating and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's documented history shows active management responses to violations and complaints, with most cases being resolved through official inspection processes, though some complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection.
