4216 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 4216 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, currently owned by Michael Graham and originally constructed in 1938, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Between March and July 2023, the building had multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints, including problems with electrical outlets, flooring, walls, lighting, heat and hot water systems, and pest issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations.

Earlier, in 2022, there were documented violations in Apartment 2 related to building safety systems, including the need to replace missing carbon monoxide detectors, address plumbing issues (including heating radiators), and rectify various electrical problems, such as exposed wires and missing outlet covers. These violations, along with plumbing and heating complaints, were subsequently certified as corrected by April 2022. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2025 show no infestations during the reporting periods of 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, with no units affected or requiring eradication efforts.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing (2025-02-12) indicating zero infested units. Despite the building's age and history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2022-2023, the prompt resolution of most complaints and the current lack of active violations indicate improved conditions. The building's current status shows no open housing violations or active maintenance complaints as of 2025, though it's worth noting the pattern of multiple maintenance issues in early 2023.
