636 East 230th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 636 East 230th Street in Wakefield, built in 1901 and currently owned by Eric Hailstock, has experienced recurring heating and water-related issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between March and April 2025. During this period, there were nine heat/hot water complaints, including three on April 1-2 and multiple duplicates, with one heavy water leak incident reported on March 30-31.

While all these complaints were officially closed after investigation, most required follow-up confirmation through HPD, suggesting ongoing concerns with the building's heating system. The building has also faced notable challenges regarding unauthorized modifications, with five illegal conversion complaints filed between June 2023 and April 2024, all resulting in denied access during inspection attempts.

Previous complaints dating back to 2019 also indicated access denial issues during inspections related to permit inquiries. While the building's heating system appears to be the most pressing current concern, the pattern of denied access during inspections raises questions about compliance verification procedures. The most recent documented issues center around temperature control, as evidenced by ten separate complaints, though these were responded to and closed, indicating at least some level of ongoing management intervention in response to resident concerns.
