4077 Edson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4077 Edson Avenue in Edenwald, owned by Vera Ifudi, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since at least 2010, with the most recent significant concerns occurring in late 2023. There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent incidents in November 2023 being categorized as emergency situations, though these were resolved after HPD intervention.

The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with violations documented in both 2020 and 2023, including an active mouse infestation violation as of March 2021 affecting the 1st floor apartment. Of particular concern are several serious Department of Buildings violations issued in November 2019, including multiple active violations related to unpermitted construction work, gas system installation, and electrical work.

These violations, with penalties totaling over $20,000, involved unauthorized modifications including the construction of new rooms, illegal CMU extensions, and concerns about building systems safety. While there have been some inspections and compliance efforts documented through the years, including past rodent inspection failures in 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2017, the persistence of heat, sanitation, and building safety issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of emergency complaints and required HPD interventions, particularly regarding basic utilities and pest control, indicating potential concerns about consistent habitability conditions.
