4371 Matilda Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, four-unit building at 4371 Matilda Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly between 2020 and 2022. The most significant and persistent problems have involved pest infestations, with multiple complaints about both rodents and cockroaches, particularly affecting Apartment 1F.

In 2022, HPD inspections documented ongoing pest issues, with violations for both roaches and mice infestations specifically cited in July 2022, which remained open at the time of inspection. The building also faced several maintenance challenges during this period, with multiple violations recorded in 2022 including water damage in the 1F bathroom ceiling, defective bathroom cabinet issues, and problems with kitchen sink plumbing. The property has a documented history of rodent problems, with inspections in 2020 and 2021 resulting in failed compliance checks, and a rat sighting reported in August 2020.

However, more recent records from 2022 to 2025 show improvement in certain aspects, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting system showing no active infestations in the past three annual reports (2022-2025), with the previous infestations between 2019-2022 appearing to have been resolved. The most recent carbon monoxide detector violation from 2010 (in Apartment 2R) was closed in 2019, suggesting basic safety systems are now in compliance. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2020-2022 period, there have been no major reported issues in the past two years, though it's worth noting that some violations from 2022 remained open at the time of inspection.
