4376 Wickham Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 4376 Wickham Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Rajendradat Ramharak and built in 1925, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2025, with seven separate complaints registered through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code, including both apartment-specific and building-wide incidents. Most of these complaints were either resolved promptly, with HPD confirmation of restoration services, or could not be investigated due to access issues. The building also faced pest-related concerns in December 2023, with multiple complaints filed regarding unsanitary conditions, though HPD inspections found no violations.

Between 2020 and 2022, several safety compliance issues were documented in Apartment 2, including violations related to lead paint hazards, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were addressed within reasonable time frames. The property has maintained a consistent record of filing annual bedbug reports, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing no infested units or eradication efforts required. A complaint about an illegal conversion was filed in August 2022, but access was denied to inspectors on both attempts.

Recent maintenance includes basic repairs and an annual central heating system inspection in October 2023, which showed no violations. The building has maintained close communications with HPD regarding complaints, with most issues being addressed promptly, though recent heat and hot water problems have occurred with some frequency, particularly during winter months. The current bedbug reporting status suggests the building remains free of infestations as of 2024-2025.
