4615 Furman Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

This two-story, three-unit residential building at 4615 Furman Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Mateo Pina Pena and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably persistent heating problems. Between January 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints, with three separate incidents in January 2025 alone, despite HPD's intervention and verification of some corrections. The building has also faced recurring issues with its heating system in February 2024, with several complaints where HPD couldn't gain access for inspection.

Other notable violations include a building entrance door issue documented in December 2023 (Class C violation), and an unresolved illegal alteration complaint from January 2018 regarding unauthorized wall constructions in the garage. The property has demonstrated some positive compliance with regulatory requirements, including timely bedbug reporting for the periods ending in 2024 and 2022, showing no infestation cases during those reporting periods. An environmental control board violation from 2018 related to illegal occupancy of converted spaces was resolved with a $2,500 penalty.

The building's heating system appears to be the most pressing ongoing maintenance concern, with multiple complaints spanning over a year and requiring repeated tenant interventions to verify corrections. While there have been several illegal conversion complaints filed between 2018 and 2019, inspections typically found no violations warranting enforcement action. Recent rodent inspection results from November 2022 indicated rat activity, though prior inspections in 2019 had passed.
