4727 White Plains Road, Bronx, NY 10470

The 4727 White Plains Road building, located in Wakefield, is a 4-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Joe Hasselt. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, most notably multiple reports of heat and hot water problems between March-April 2025, with at least four separate complaints.

There have also been recurring mold issues reported in April 2025, though inspections did not result in violations. The building's maintenance history shows persistent problems with the boiler system, evidenced by multiple "Defective/Inoperative" complaints between 2022-2025, including three complaints in 2025 alone. Class B housing violations have been noted for Apartment 14, including issues with plastered surfaces, wooden floors, and missing safety devices, with violations remaining open since a December 2024 inspection.

The property has faced various infrastructure challenges, including electrical work performed without a permit (July 2023), power outage complaints (March 2025), and issues with garbage/recycling storage (March 2025). While there have been no reported instances of bedbug infestations or significant rodent issues in recent years, with the most recent rodent inspections showing compliance in January 2023, the building's recent maintenance record raises concerns about basic utilities and building systems. The Department of Buildings records indicate ongoing violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, and multiple access denial incidents for inspections have occurred, particularly regarding the boiler system.
