4360 Furman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 27-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 4360 Furman Avenue in Wakefield, built in 1931 and currently owned by Juan Vazquez, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. As of June 2025, there are open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding electrical lighting problems and plumbing issues involving sinks, with multiple past complaints in 2025 involving paint/plaster problems affecting walls and radiators.

The building underwent significant violations correction in late 2024 for Apartment 1A, addressing multiple issues including rodent infestations, water leaks, mold conditions, and problems with plastered surfaces, cabinets, and bathroom maintenance. The property has recurring pest control challenges, as evidenced by a 2024 bedbug report showing one infested unit (though reportedly eradicated), and a history of rodent inspections showing varying compliance results between 2014 and 2022, with several instances of rat activity noted.

The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance concerns with essential services, including heating/hot water (complaint in March 2025), multiple plumbing issues, and electrical problems affecting lighting, particularly in 2025. There are two active violations with the Department of Buildings relating to external low pressure inspection filing (2023) and failure to display energy efficiency scores (2021), though these appeared to be more administrative in nature compared to the building's habitual maintenance issues. The property's inspection record shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing concerns, with recent complaints requiring inspections and issuing violations, suggesting persistent challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort that have not been fully resolved despite multiple service requests and inspections.
