691 East 230th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The property at 691 East 230th Street in Wakefield is a two-story, two-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Chaim Schwartz. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, which has prompted multiple HPD complaints in 2025. The most recent series of complaints (May 2025) included issues with flooring, a refrigerator, walls, and cabinets, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

A 2025 complaint regarding door/windows was investigated and found not to violate housing laws. Previous maintenance history shows a 2023 emergency complaint about heat/hot water and an electric/gas range that was resolved. The building underwent significant inspections and repairs in late 2024, with violations documented in apartment B2 including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as a rodent infestation consisting of roaches and mice.

Other violations found included defective features in the bathroom and bedroom areas, though many of these were subsequently closed. The property has maintained bedbug-free status in its most recent filings (2024) and passed a rodent inspection in October 2022. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, many have been addressed and closed following inspection, though several remain open as of late 2024. The building's maintenance pattern shows a mix of resolved issues and ongoing concerns, particularly regarding garbage storage and various interior maintenance needs.
