4126 Bronxwood Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, seven-unit tenement building at 4126 Bronxwood Avenue in Wakefield, built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent problems arising in June 2025 involving plumbing, electrical, and appliance concerns including a toilet, sink, outlet/switch, and electric/gas range.

Between late 2022 and 2023, the building faced multiple challenges including heat and hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, as well as issues with doors/windows, fire escape safety, and stairs/flooring, with many complaints resulting in failed inspections due to lack of access for HPD inspectors. Notably, apartment 1F has had documented violations including the need to repair or replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, heating system maintenance issues, and pest control concerns, with some violations remaining open as of 2023.

While the building has undergone various repairs and received some violations as closed by 2023, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding essential services like heat, hot water, and appliance functionality, is concerning. The building has maintained a pest-free record with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and though some rodent inspections showed initial failures between 2012-2018, more recent compliance checks indicate improved conditions.
