4015 Baychester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 4015 Baychester Avenue, owned by Francis Kay, was constructed in 1989 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, the building received multiple complaints regarding electrical issues (including outlets and lighting), wall conditions (paint/plaster), pest infestations, and door problems.

Despite these complaints being classified with varying degrees of urgency, all were ultimately closed without inspection due to the HPD Inspector's inability to gain access for inspection, and no timely response was received from the tenant or owner. The building has also had persistent pest issues, with multiple "Unsanitary Condition-Pests" complaints filed in both March and June 2025, alongside a notable pattern of violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though recent bedbug filings from 2023-2024 indicated no infested units or eradication efforts. Earlier records show that the building underwent two rodent inspections in 2010-2011, both of which resulted in failures for "Other Reasons".

While the building's recent bedbug reporting (2024) shows no current infestation, the persistent nature of pest complaints and multiple HPD inspection access issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints from 2025, while not directly leading to verified violations due to inspection access issues, indicate continued concerns with building conditions that may affect resident comfort and safety. The property has a history of requiring HPD inspections for various issues, though many were ultimately closed without verification due to access difficulties.
