4321 Matilda Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit building at 4321 Matilda Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Latchman Sobhan, has documented several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in December 2023. Multiple complaints were filed and investigated during this period, including issues with heating and hot water, plumbing (steam pipes/riser), wall paint/plaster conditions, and mold concerns. While no violations were issued for these December 2023 complaints, they were marked as closed following HPD inspections.

The building has experienced recurring heating system problems, with a significant complaint regarding lack of heat and hot water for the entire building filed in November 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification. More structural and maintenance issues were identified in the 2023-2024 timeframe, particularly affecting the basement apartment (BASEME), where violations were recorded for wall paint requirements and mold conditions. These included requirements to repaint specific walls with light-colored paint and to address visible mold conditions measuring approximately 20 square feet on a west wall.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods, with zero units affected between 2019 and 2025. A rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 also passed. The property has shown some pattern of bedbug-related violation notices from 2021 through 2024, though these appear to have been administrative in nature and not related to actual infestations, as evidenced by consistent reporting of zero infested units.
