4450 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10470

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 4450 White Plains Road in Wakefield, owned by Henry 4450 LLC and constructed in 1931, has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, there have been multiple urgent complaints regarding water-related issues, with open complaints for slow water leaks and water supply problems, alongside recently addressed issues with heat and hot water in both the entire building and individual apartments.

In September 2024, the building received attention for unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations (specifically rats and roaches), and violations were issued regarding these pests as well as ceiling paint and plaster conditions. The building has documented violations that require urgent attention, particularly concerning Apartment 2N, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, pest infestations (mice and roaches), missing window guards, and damaged plaster surfaces in various locations.

While there have been multiple service requests and violations, many have been promptly addressed or closed through HPD inspections. Noteworthy is the building's recent history of heat and water system challenges, with multiple complaints about inadequate heating systems in March 2025. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestation reports in its annual filings since 2020, and passed a rodent inspection in November 2022, suggesting some level of regulatory compliance in certain areas while continuing to address ongoing maintenance challenges.
