4085 Ely Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, five-unit building at 4085 Ely Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Shamica Abbott, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most critical concerns occurring between 2020-2021. During December 2020, the property faced both mold and ceiling paint issues, with the mold complaint being designated as emergency in nature. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in December 2020, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (2R), including problems with water leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and self-closing doors.

Additionally, there were violations related to a leaking roof affecting the public hall and a public hall ceiling paint requirement, though most of these issues were certified as resolved by February 2021. The building has shown ongoing attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reporting compliance demonstrated in recent filings. The most recent report from July 2024 indicates no current infestation, following one documented case in the 2021-2022 reporting period which was reportedly resolved.

Historical pest control records show compliance inspections in 2016, though there was one failed inspection for "Other Reasons" that same year. The property's annual bedbug reporting, while previously an issue with violations up to 2022, has now shown consistent compliance since 2023. Despite the relatively high number of initial violations, most were addressed within reasonable timeframes, and there have been no new major violations or complaints documented since early 2021, suggesting improved maintenance practices in recent years.
