4381 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The 6-unit, 2-story building at 4381 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Naseem Adalsha, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple emergency service requests including water leaks (heavy flow), electrical power outages, wall paint/plaster issues, sewage problems, and an appliance issue involving the refrigerator.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted inspections for these complaints but was unable to complete them. The building also has chronic rodent issues, with multiple failed inspections throughout 2024-2025 revealing both mice and roach infestations in apartments 1 and 1B, along with various plumbing problems including leaky pipes and water damage affecting both apartments. The building's 2024 violations are particularly concerning, with multiple open Class B and C violations in apartment 1 and 1B including plumbing issues with waste pipes in both bathrooms and kitchens, water leak problems, visible mold in the bathroom, and evidence of pest infestations.

There were also several electrical problems reported in early 2025, and the building's recent history shows persistent maintenance issues related to sanitation, plumbing, and electrical systems. Although several complaints regarding egress and illegal conversion were filed in September 2023, inspections found no violations at that time. The property has a history of failed rodent compliance inspections in 2024-2025, with the most recent being in July 2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges.
