4435 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-story, seven-unit tenement at 4435 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Sali Asllani, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly concerning hygiene and pest control. The property has documented multiple instances of unsanitary conditions, with particular emphasis on mold, pests, and rodent issues. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint about mold that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

In 2024, a rat sighting was reported and investigated but no violations were found. The building has also faced several violations related to pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 5, which experienced multiple roach infestations between 2022-2023. The property has had four emergency mold complaints in 2023-2025, three instances of floor-related issues, and multiple paint/plaster violations. Significant infrastructure and safety concerns have been documented, including heating system problems in early 2022 where tenants reported loss of heat and hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved.

The building has recently faced administrative violations such as the failure to file annual bedbug reports (2023 - 2024) and issues with smoke detector requirements. However, the most recent bedbug reports (2024 - 2025) show no recorded infestations, suggesting improved pest control measures. The property passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, indicating some improvement in pest management, though this remains an ongoing concern as evidenced by multiple pest-related complaints and violations. While the building has received valid maintenance violations, many recent complaints, including those regarding mold and other conditions, have been investigated without resulting violations, suggesting responsive management to reported issues.
