4436 Matilda Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

Thelma Roberts' 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 4436 Matilda Avenue in Wakefield, constructed in 1920, has maintained a concerning pattern of bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently open class A housing maintenance code violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While an inspection in 2022 resulted in one of these violations being closed, the ongoing pattern of non-compliance suggests an ongoing administrative oversight, though there is no current evidence of bedbug infestations. The building's documented history shows no recorded bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting period, with zero infested or eradicated dwelling units and no re-infested units reported. The only other documented incident related to the building occurred in 2019, when a complaint regarding an unspecified permit issue was filed with the Department of Buildings.

An inspection on May 22, 2019, was conducted, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the premises on their second final attempt. This incident was subsequently closed without further action. The building's records, spanning from 2019 to the present, show no other significant violations or complaints that would impact resident safety or comfort, though the persistent bedbug reporting compliance issues warrant attention.
