4731 Richardson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470
4731 Richardson Avenue is a 4-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1934, currently owned by 4731 Richardson Ave LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed between July 2024 and December 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. More recent concerns have focused on rodent activity, with inspections in May 2023, September 2023, and most recently in July 2025 showing varying compliance results, including a confirmed rat sighting in June 2025.
The building faces several open violations related to safety and regulatory compliance, particularly noted during an October 2024 inspection, including missing required notices for gas leak procedures, smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and an outstanding bedbug reporting requirement. A significant environmental control board violation from April 2023, still listed as active, pertains to unauthorized construction work in Apartment 1F, resulting in a $6,250 penalty for work performed without the necessary permits. The building's history includes multiple failed inspection attempts from 2022 through 2024 regarding various complaints, including illegal conversion claims and safety concerns about locked or blocked egress.
While routine bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2022 shows no recorded infestations, the property's ongoing issues with heat, safety compliance, and pest management continue to be a concern. Recent safety-related complaints filed in February 2025 regarding steam pipes, radiator issues, and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were categorized as immediate emergencies and subsequently closed. Additionally, several regulatory violations remain open from a 2024 inspection, including issues with self-closing doors and various required safety postings in common areas.
