4055 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, 3-unit building at 4055 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Beatrice Wade and constructed in 1990, has experienced recurring plumbing-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024, the property received emergency complaints regarding a bathtub/shower issue and kitchen ceiling problems involving paint/plaster, both of which resulted in violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, including multiple instances of heavy flow water leaks and bathroom-related plumbing complaints in 2022 that resulted in violation notices, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In 2024, inspection findings revealed various maintenance needs in Apartment 1, including a defective bathtub mechanical stopper, plastered surface issues, and flooring concerns, though some violations were later closed following repairs. The building's safety features came under scrutiny in 2024 with an open violation regarding an illegally installed double-cylinder lock on the entrance door that requires correction.

The property has maintained generally good pest control records, with bedbug reporting showing no infestations in the most recent filing period (2022-2023) after three units were reported infested in the previous year (2021-2022), with all cases resolved. An initial rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 resulted in a passing grade, indicating effective rodent control measures were in place. The building's maintenance record also shows attention to safety compliance, with annual bedbug report filings completed for both 2023 and 2024, though there was an inspection notice issued in 2024 for failure to file the report for the 2022-2023 period, which appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings.
