4436 Monticello Avenue, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 4436 Monticello Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Javier Monroy and built in 2003, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems arising in early 2024. Between March and April 2024, multiple violations were documented, including ceiling paint/plaster issues, mold problems, door/windos defects, and a water leak. An inspection in April 2024 specifically identified several violations in Apartment 1, including a defective door, water leak in the bathroom ceiling, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in the bathroom.

The building has a history of heat and hot water issues, with significant complaints recorded in December 2022 affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though these violations were subsequently closed. Maintenance records indicate previous problems with ceilings (2019), water leaks (2019), and mold issues (2022), suggesting recurring maintenance challenges. The building has maintained a generally good track record with bedbug and rodent control, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period (2023-2024), though there were three eradicated units reported in 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 filing periods.

A rodent inspection in December 2022 passed successfully. The property has also experienced various maintenance code violations related to heating systems, hot water supply, and gas fixtures, particularly affecting Apartment 3 during late 2022. The most recent bedbug reporting period shows consistent monitoring, with no new infestations reported since 2024, maintaining an overall pattern of effective pest management on the property.
