4437 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-story, seven-unit tenement building at 4437 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Domenico Mirabile, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns emerged in 2020, with multiple water-related problems documented, including heavy flow leaks in December 2020 and August 2020, particularly affecting the bathroom and ceiling in apartment 2.

These incidents prompted emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations that required attention to repair the source of the leaks. Additional violations were recorded in 2020, including problems with ceiling tiles, electrical outlets, and self-closing doors in apartment 2, as well as various safety-related notices that needed to be posted in common areas regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide requirements, and gas leak procedures.

More recently, as of February 2022, the building received a violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though no actual bedbug infestations were reported in any of the subsequent five annual filings from 2020 to 2024. While there were multiple open violation notices as of 2020-2021, including issues with water leaks, electrical systems, and safety notices, regular bedbug reporting since then shows zero infested units, suggesting some improvement in overall pest management. The building's violation history indicates a pattern of water-related issues in 2020, with subsequent years showing fewer documented problems, though some safety compliance matters remained outstanding.
