4235 Digney Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4235 Digney Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Ilan Ziv, has been the focus of significant recent attention from the Department of Buildings (DOB) in early 2024, with particular concern around structural safety. The most serious issue emerged on February 12, 2024, when inspectors identified potentially dangerous conditions related to an adjacent building (4239 Digney Avenue) with illegal construction that was reportedly compromising structural stability and exposing both properties to the elements.

This situation prompted the issuance of an active DOB violation, noting concerns about rotted materials and compromised structural integrity. In response to these safety concerns, a partial vacate order was implemented for the alleyway area.

The Department of Buildings conducted two Special Operations Compliance Inspections in February 2024, with inspection results showing varying outcomes: one case resulted in a closed status with the note "Please See Complaint Number," while another inspection on March 5, 2024, documented that a vacate order previously issued had been fully rescinded. These inspections and the associated violations suggest that while some safety concerns may have been addressed (as indicated by the rescinded vacate order), there remained active violations related to the neighboring property's illegal construction as of the latest available data.
