4619 Bronx Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10470

The two-family house at 4619 Bronx Boulevard in Wakefield, owned by Leslie Obi, has experienced significant maintenance challenges since 2021, with recurring issues affecting resident comfort and safety. The building, constructed in 1965 and comprising two stories with three units, has shown persistent problems with heat and hot water systems, most recently in January 2025 and previously in December 2022 and December 2021, including both apartment-specific and entire-building outages.

There has also been an ongoing rodent infestation issue, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, including documented violations in Apartment 3 as of December 2021 for both mice and roaches. While recent inspections in December 2024 resulted in passing compliance for rodent control, the building has experienced repeated failures in earlier inspections throughout 2023-2024. The property has undergone several emergency maintenance requests, particularly regarding plumbing issues in late 2022 affecting both sinks and bathtubs/showers.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has conducted multiple inspections showing violations related to rodent conditions. While some improvements have been noted, such as passing inspections in 2024, the building's history reveals an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges that impact basic services. The Housing Maintenance Code violations filed in 2021 concerning pest infestations and the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices remain open as of the latest records.
