263 East 235th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

263 East 235th Street is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building located in Woodlawn, built in 1929 and currently owned by John Oshea. The building has recently faced several concerning issues, particularly related to heat and hot water. Between August and October 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in October 2024 regarding locked boiler room doors and inadequate hot water in Apartment 6.

This apartment has been the focus of multiple violations, including problems with self-closing doors, peeling paint, and various safety issues such as inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as pest infestations involving mice and roaches. Notably, a mold condition in the bathroom ceiling was identified in August 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2020 and 2023 both passing.

Bedbug reports for the past six years (2019-2025) consistently show no infestations or related activity, indicating effective pest management in this regard. While the property has some serious ongoing maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 6, it has demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements and maintained a bedbug-free status through regular reporting periods. The most pressing current concerns relate to the heating system access, water supply issues, and various interior maintenance matters in Apartment 6, which have received multiple violation notices and require attention according to housing maintenance codes.
