4225 Baychester Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, two-family house at 4225 Baychester Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Michael Henry, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most serious problems occurring in February 2022. During that month, the building faced multiple emergency situations including a power outage, heat and hot water problems in Apartment 2, and cooking gas concerns, all of which resulted in violations following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Subsequent inspections in May 2022 revealed additional issues in Apartment 1, including problems with lead-based paint, broken plastered surfaces, and the need for repainting of walls and ceilings. Apartment 2 was found to have inadequate heating, electrical supply issues, hot water problems, and a defective carbon monoxide detecting device, with one violation still listed as open.

Earlier records from 2018 show maintenance work that was completed, including painting of the lobby metal door and garage roll-up door, which were certified as completed by the end of 2018. While some of the 2022 violations were certified as resolved by July 2022, the presence of multiple housing maintenance code violations across both apartments indicates that the building experienced significant infrastructure challenges during that period. The most recent documented violations from 2022 suggest a pattern of maintenance issues affecting basic services such as heating, hot water, and electrical systems, as well as concerns related to safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors.
