4617 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-story, seven-unit residential building at 4617 White Plains Road in Wakefield, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Kasharpattie Bacchus, has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most pressing concerns revolve around heating and plumbing systems, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints documented in 2023 and 2024, including a building-wide issue in March 2023 and an apartment-specific incident in January 2024.

Additionally, there have been recurring plumbing problems, including a water supply complaint in April 2024 that was not able to be inspected, and a toilet issue in January 2023 that was inspected without violations. The building has also faced sanitary challenges, with multiple reports of garbage/recycling storage issues in 2020 and three Class A violations in 2021 regarding improper signage and notices related to safety requirements, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures, which remain open as of May 2021. Recent inspections and reports provide some positive updates: all bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate zero infested units, and the building passed rodent inspections in November 2022.

However, there are currently two active violations as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspections. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventive maintenance, with multiple complaints receiving closure without proper inspection access, particularly concerning heat and water supply issues. While certain problems have been addressed and closed, the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and sanitary issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
