85 East 233rd Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The 80-unit, 4-story residential building at 85 East 233rd Street, owned by Woodlawn Senior Living LLC and completed in 2020, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in its relatively short history. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with HPD responding to reports of outages affecting both entire building and individual apartments. The property has also faced significant issues with pest control, particularly with multiple Class C violations for roach infestations reported in apartments 106, 216, 301, and 317 during late 2024.

Additional maintenance concerns were documented in December 2024 across various systems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for complaints regarding the ventilation system, multiple surfaces in need of repair (walls, ceilings, flooring), windows, and the intercom system. The building's elevator system is currently subject to active violations (as of June 2025) regarding safety features and maintenance, with penalties totaling $6,250. An extensive list of building code violations from 2024 shows various maintenance issues across different apartments, including problems with plaster surfaces, flooring, and other building systems.

While the building maintains an active bedbug-free record since 2020, it previously experienced compliance failures in pest control as indicated by earlier inspection results. The property has seen regular compliance inspections in 2023 showing passed rodent inspections, though there are multiple open violations of various classifications from late 2024 that continue to require attention. During its construction phase, the building had numerous safety and compliance issues, with several violations noted in 2020 relating to scaffolding, site safety plans, and construction equipment which were ultimately resolved.
