4130 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4130 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, built in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning problems occurring in 2025 involving heating and hot water systems, as well as plumbing issues throughout the building, which were classified as emergencies. These incidents follow a pattern of access-related inspection challenges, as HPD inspectors were unable to gain entry to assess the reported problems.

The building has a documented history of similar infrastructure concerns, including a water supply issue in April 2025, and multiple problems in 2024 including power outages and water supply issues, though no violations were issued for the 2024 inspections. The property has a significant cluster of complaints from 2019, including violations related to a power outage, door issues, and heating problems, all occurring simultaneously and necessitating HPD intervention. In 2022, four compliance-related complaints were filed, including violations for failure to maintain the property, illegal conversion suspicions, and plumbing and electrical wiring concerns, though access was denied during inspection attempts.

While some of these issues were classified as "in progress" or "unable to gain access," they indicate ongoing concerns with the building's infrastructure. The current owner, PHH Mortgage Corporation, holds the property, which has remained in two-family configuration despite past concerns. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic systems, particularly plumbing and heating, with the most recent complaints in 2025 representing the latest in a long-term pattern of service disruptions affecting both units.
