4822 Barnes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10470

The two-family house at 4822 Barnes Avenue in Wakefield, owned by Joe Armato, has been in existence since 2017 and is a two-story building containing three units. The property has experienced several significant plumbing-related issues, most notably in 2018 when the Department of Buildings (DOB) suspended plumbing work due to the suspension of a master plumber's license, though this violation was later dismissed in March 2019 after the work was transferred to a new master plumber.

In July 2022, there was a complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues, though the inspection found no violations at that time. The building has undergone proper permitting processes for various works, including multiple plumbing permits issued in 2018-2019, with the most recent permit sequence numbers showing active plumbing-related work. Regarding pest and maintenance records, the building has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in any dwelling units from 2022 through mid-2025, with three consecutive bedbug reports showing zero infested or eradicated units.

The property passed an initial rodent inspection in November 2022, indicating effective pest management practices. While the building has experienced some plumbing-related challenges during its brief history, recent records suggest improved maintenance and management practices, with no recent complaints or violations recorded in the past year. The most current bedbug report from June 2025 indicates continued pest-free conditions, covering the period from November 2024 to October 2025.
