4525 Henry Hudson Pkwy W, Bronx, NY 10471

4525 Henry Hudson Parkway West is a 12-story, 145-unit residential building constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Maryann Dowling. The building has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most notably during February 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding insufficient heating and hot water in individual apartments. More recently, in June 2025, there were numerous emergency plumbing and water supply issues reported, including one affecting the entire building's heat and hot water system.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with infrastructure, particularly during 2020 when multiple facade-related violations were issued, including concerns about damaged mortar joints on upper floors and safety measures related to an unsafe facade. These violations prompted emergency repairs to the water tower enclosure, which had exhibited significant cracking through its brick wall, though records indicate these hazardous conditions were eventually resolved. The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with regular reporting showing no current infestations since 2018, with only one previously reported case in 2018 that was promptly eradicated.

Recent inspections have focused on compliance with various safety and maintenance requirements, including sidewalk shed conditions and plumbing systems. While several violations have been issued and subsequently resolved, including issues related to facade maintenance and safety measures in 2020, the most pressing current concerns appear to be centered around the building's heating and plumbing systems, as evidenced by the recent emergency service requests and housing maintenance code complaints. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to violations, with records showing most issues have been addressed and closed through proper certification, though some violations have had penalties associated with them, such as a 2024 sidewalk shed violation with a $2,400 penalty that remains active as of 2025.
