4501 Bronx Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 4501 Bronx Boulevard in Wakefield, owned by Emanuel Feit, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 1993. Most recently, in May 2023, there was a reported mold problem that prompted an HPD inspection, though no violations were found.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints in 2018 and 2022, both of which were resolved with the restoration of services, though the 2022 complaint required multiple attempts for inspection access. In early 2020, the property experienced multiple interconnected issues, including plumbing problems (steam pipe/riser, radiator, toilet), as well as concerns with paint/plaster on ceilings and walls. That period also saw a water leak incident in December 2019, followed by complaints regarding window frames and ceiling paint/plaster.

The building's maintenance history includes several inspections for unsanitary conditions, with reports in 2018 regarding pest issues and garbage/recycling storage concerns, though these inspections found no violations. More recent developments include two complaints in 2023 - one regarding construction work and another concerning alleged illegal conversion, though both were closed with no violations or vacate orders being fully rescinded. The building's documented issues suggest recurring patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems, though many complaints have been resolved through Department of Housing Preservation and Development interventions.
