4737 Matilda Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The 17-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 4737 Matilda Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Dominick Mirabile, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in and around apartment 4C. A cluster of violations was recorded in June 2018, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, various defective plaster surfaces and painting requirements, as well as issues with the apartment door security and self-closing mechanisms.

While some of these violations were subsequently closed, several remained open as of the last inspection record. More recently, in January 2021, there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building, though this was closed within a week. The building's environmental health record shows consistent attention to pest management, with bedbug reports filed annually from 2021 through 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest control protocols.

However, rodent inspections conducted in late 2022 and early 2023 resulted in "Failed for Other Reasons" designations, indicating ongoing challenges in maintaining pest-free conditions. Notably, the most recent bedbug filings through 2024 show no reports of infestation, which could indicate improved conditions. The building's age (constructed in 1929) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its history of maintenance requirements, though the persistent pattern of violations and complaints suggests that some systems may be near or past their intended lifespan.
