636 East 231st Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 31-unit, 5-story building at 636 East 231st Street in Wakefield, owned by 318 Realty Co, has experienced recurring heating system problems over the past year and a half. Between late 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, with at least eight incidents reported through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.

While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, they indicate an ongoing heating system reliability concern. The building also faced water-related challenges, with two heavy flow water leak complaints recorded in October 2024, and various maintenance issues were documented including ceiling repairs needed in apartment 3A, courtyards requiring repairs, and door hardware problems. The property has two active violations regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, dating back to 2021 and 2024.

A bedbug inspection report from late 2024 shows no infestations in the past five reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management. Rodent inspections have been variable, with several failures noted between 2011 and 2015, though the most recent inspections in 2017 and 2022 passed. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and some efforts to address violations, including repairs to various building systems and structures, though certain issues such as the courtyard paving problems (open violations as of August 2024) remain outstanding.
