4051 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The property at 4051 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, a two-story old law tenement building owned by Cyrilla Williams Titre, has several ongoing concerns that merit attention. Most notably, there are four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which pose a potential pest management concern for residents.

The building has also experienced several significant events between 2019 and 2020 that raised safety and compliance questions. These include an active ECB violation from April 2019 for unlawfully continuing work despite a stop work order, with a substantial penalty of $25,000, and an associated violation for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition from July 2019. Multiple complaints regarding construction activities were filed in 2020, though inspections generally found no violations, including a special operations compliance inspection in December 2020.

The property underwent rodent inspection in October 2022, which passed, and there have been no reported rodent issues since. A day care facility complaint was investigated and closed by the Department of Health in 2023, though it's unclear how this relates to the building's current use. While some permits have been issued, including a work permit in February 2019, the building's recent history shows ongoing regulatory compliance challenges that appear to be mostly centered around documentation requirements rather than structural or safety issues.
