4547 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 4547 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Kurtis Calden and constructed in 1925 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Between January and March 2021, there were three separate complaints regarding heat and hot water infrastructure, with two incidents in January and February classified as emergencies.

While one incident was resolved during the inspection, and another allegedly had heat and hot water restored according to tenant reports, access issues complicated the inspection process. In early 2022, there was a non-emergency complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, which was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. Of particular note is the building's bedbug reporting history, which shows consistent compliance with annual reporting requirements from 2021 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the filing periods (2019-2020, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024).

The property has received three Class A violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2022 and 2024, although these violations have since been closed. The most recent documented inspection in April 2024 confirmed the need for annual bedbug report filing, though there is no indication of current infestation issues, as reflected in the January 2025 filing showing zero infested units. While the building has experienced heating system challenges in the past, the absence of recent heat/hot water complaints and the building's current bedbug-free status as of early 2025 are positive indicators of improved maintenance conditions.
