4109 Bronxwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4109 Bronxwood Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Winston Polanco, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during early 2020. The building, constructed in 1925, underwent a period of concerning heat and hot water outages between January and February 2020, with multiple emergency complaints logged through the Housing Maintenance Code.

These issues affected both individual apartments and the entire building, with at least one violation specifically documented for inadequate heat supply in the first-floor apartment. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was involved in investigating these complaints, issuing violations in some cases while in other instances being unable to gain access for inspection purposes. Prior to these heating system problems, there were two emergency complaints in February 2020 regarding cooking gas issues and an electric/gas range appliance concern.

On the regulatory side, the building has a documented Environmental Control Board violation from March 2018 related to non-conforming construction work, though records indicate this was resolved with no penalties imposed. In terms of construction oversight, there is a permit on file from August 2019 for work associated with job number 220707000, which appears to have been properly issued. While the heating system issues in early 2020 were clearly the most significant recent challenge for this property, there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the subsequent years leading up to 2025, suggesting these problems may have been successfully addressed.
