4459 Matilda Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470
The 23-unit, 4-story building at 4459 Matilda Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Alvaro Rodriguez, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since late 2024. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems throughout the building, with multiple emergency complaints in May 2025 and December 2024, though some were resolved before inspections. The building has also faced persistent pest issues, evidenced by two recent service requests in June 2025 and the previous October 2024 complaint about pests, all resulting in inspection access issues.
Noteworthy violations were documented in apartment 3E during November 2024, including problems with windows, roach infestation, plaster surfaces, and missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), though these were officially certified as corrected by November 2024. The building's infrastructure has shown various maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (no lighting), door problems, and water supply concerns, particularly evident in the emergency complaints recorded throughout 2024-2025. Historical records show the building has maintained a relatively stable pest and bedbug situation in recent years, with no documented infestations between 2018 and 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2022, though there were multiple failed inspections in 2017 requiring bait applications.
The property's boiler inspection compliance has been problematic, with violations in 2018 and 2019 relating to missing inspection reports, though these were eventually dismissed or resolved with penalties. The building's age (built in 1928) and its classification as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it is subject to specific housing preservation regulations. Recent inspection patterns indicate access issues for housing authorities, as they have been unable to inspect several complaints due to tenant accessibility problems, including the most recent complaints in June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and door/window issues.
