4247 Digney Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 4247 Digney Avenue property is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Wakefield and owned by Nora Loggins, constructed in 1930. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2024. These issues included unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), window frame problems, plumbing issues, and various paint/plaster concerns affecting walls and ceilings.

Many of these complaints were marked as emergencies by the Housing Maintenance Code system, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for several of these reports. Of particular note, there are three open Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022-2024, suggesting potential ongoing pest management issues. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges dating back several years, with multiple open violations from 2020 regarding Apartment 1A, including issues with broken plaster surfaces, peeling paint, and flooring problems in the bathroom.

Previous complaints between 2020-2021 also noted various building maintenance issues, though several recent complaints recorded in 2024 regarding construction work and plumbing problems were found to have no violations upon inspection. The property management has filed bedbug reports showing no infestations for the 2019-2020 period, though the lack of subsequent reports raises questions about ongoing monitoring. While many complaints have been closed, often due to lack of access for inspections or resolution of issues, the recurring nature of certain problems, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements and pest-related complaints, is notable.
