4130 Bruner Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4130 Bruner Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Kristina Gray, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2023. Between January and March 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks, plumbing problems with toilets and bathtubs/showers, and various paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings. While all these complaints were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), it's noteworthy that some violations were issued for wall damage in February 2023.

The building also faced pest issues and window frame problems earlier in 2023, though these were subsequently corrected according to HPD inspections. In addition to the above maintenance issues, there have been several concerns documented by the Department of Buildings (DOB) regarding unauthorized work and safety inspections. In February 2023, there were multiple complaints about unlicensed/illegal work in progress, resulting in partial stop work orders and Oath violations. A tenant safety inspection was conducted, and while some issues were noted (such as electrical wiring concerns), inspectors often encountered access issues.

A notable active violation as of 2023 involves failure to file a TPP (Technical Project Plan) with incorrect information on a PW1 form. While many earlier complaints from 2022 regarding construction access and illegal conversion were documented, these appear to have been resolved or closed without violations being confirmed upon inspection. The property, built in 1935, has a documented history of various maintenance issues, particularly focusing on plumbing, water damage, and interior surface conditions. The repeated nature of some complaints, particularly regarding water-related problems and surface damage, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though it's important to note that most complaints were closed without violations being issued upon inspection.
