119 East 233rd Street, Bronx, NY 10470

119 East 233rd Street is a 5-story, 19-unit residential building located in Woodlawn, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Hakija Nikocevic. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between November and December 2024, there were multiple documented complaints and violations related to insufficient heat and hot water, both in apartments and throughout the entire building, with several emergency complaints being filed.

The building also currently has open violations related to pest infestations, specifically roaches in apartments 3A and 5C, and various maintenance issues including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and water supply issues), and problems with self-closing doors in apartment 5B. The property has a complex history of regulatory interactions, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and Department of Buildings complaints. Notable past incidents include several violations from 2019 related to unauthorized work during a stop work order, for which penalties were imposed.

While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2020-2025), it shows ongoing challenges with basic services as evidenced by the recent heat and water issues. A rodent inspection in March 2023 passed, indicating some level of maintenance improvement in that area. The building's violation history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and maintenance compliance, though many older violations have been resolved or dismissed.
