4765 Carpenter Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The 27-unit, 6-story building at 4765 Carpenter Avenue in Wakefield, which dates back to 1931, is currently experiencing several significant maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 3E. As of December 2024, there are multiple open violations including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, electrical outlets, a broken door, damaged cabinet, flooring issues, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest problems.

The building has received multiple emergency and non-emergency maintenance requests between November and December 2024, with particular concern regarding safety systems (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and electrical infrastructure. A rodent inspection in 2023 resulted in a failed compliance check, and another initial inspection in November 2022 also failed for unspecified reasons, though formal violations were not issued.

The building has maintained an active schedule of bedbug reporting over the past several years, with no confirmed infestations reported in any filing period from late 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. Historical records show previous issues with annual boiler inspection filings (which were dismissed) and two complaints in 2020 regarding zoning and gas utility matters, both of which were closed without violation. While the building's management has generally responded to violations and service requests as demonstrated by recent HPD inspections, there are currently multiple open violations from December 2024 that require resolution, particularly concerning safety systems and basic maintenance issues that could impact resident quality of life.
