4414 Cayuga Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

The six-story, 30-unit residential building at 4414 Cayuga Avenue, owned by Cody Masino and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is currently an active Department of Buildings violation from February 2024 regarding failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9C technical report.

The building has had recurring issues with elevator maintenance, with an active violation from September 2019 relating to failure to correct defects found in the 2017 CAT 1 inspection/test. In August 2022, the building faced serious safety violations related to the boiler room, including exposed wiring, missing gauge guards, a missing body drain on the safety relief valve, and the presence of combustible materials, which resulted in a $1,562 penalty that has been resolved. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all annual filings since 2017 (most recently in January 2024) indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding late bedbug report filings, these appear to have been resolved as subsequent reports were filed correctly. The building has had multiple DOB violations related to failure to file various technical reports (including Cycle 1 and 9C), though these were either resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. Two renovation/repair permits were issued in 2020-2021, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance activity at the property.
