4115 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 4115 Barnes Avenue, Wakefield, owned by Garfield Salmon and constructed in 2003, has recently encountered several significant maintenance issues as of September 2024. Most notably, there are open violations related to unsafe electrical wiring in the first-story public hall and multiple maintenance issues requiring attention throughout the building, including a broken handrail, defective fire-retardant materials, and non-compliant stairwell wall surfaces.

There is also an emerging concern regarding mold, with recent complaints filed in September 2024, though these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development without violations being issued. The building's safety compliance record shows several ongoing issues that require attention.

Open violations include the need to post updated smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, as well as proper signage for the building superintendent and inspection certificate information in common areas. Historical pest control records indicate no reported bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2020, though there were past rodent control compliance inspections in 2011 and 2013, with initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons" before achieving compliance on subsequent visits. While the building has passed all recent rodent inspections and shows no bedbug activity in recent reporting periods, the current cluster of open violations related to building maintenance and safety requirements represents the most significant concentration of issues in the building's recent history.
