228 East 235th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 228 East 235th Street in Woodlawn, owned by Austin Ohara, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building faced a housing maintenance code violation related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, which also appeared as a violation in the previous three years (2021-2023).

The building's condition was particularly concerning in January 2018, when multiple violations were recorded, including significant issues in Apartment 2 such as inadequate cold water supply, mold (approximately 16 square feet at the ceiling and west wall of the bathroom), and problems with hot water access throughout the apartment. Additional 2018 violations included access issues to the heating system in the boiler room, the need for repairs to plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen, and a requirement to properly display the building registration number at the entrance. More recently, the building has shown some improvements, with the most recent bedbug report (April 2023) indicating no current infestations and no units requiring eradication measures.

The property passed a rodent inspection in February 2023, suggesting improvements in pest management. However, the outstanding violation from 2018 regarding proper building registration signage remains unresolved as of the latest available data. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues with compliance to reporting requirements and periodic problems with basic utilities and maintenance, though many of the more serious violations from 2018 appear to have been addressed.
