Augrented Insights Report for 645 East 231st Street

645 East 231st Street in Wakefield is a six-story, 72-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Scharley Torres. The building has experienced significant ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, though many were resolved upon HPD verification.

The building underwent a detailed inspection in December 2024, which revealed several concerning issues in apartment 6M, including lead paint hazards, peeling paint, carbon monoxide detector problems, smoke detector issues, roof leaks, visible mold, and pest infestation, though all violations were certified as corrected by December 30, 2024. Earlier inspections had identified similar problems in other units, including mold in apartment 4M (July 2024) and various maintenance issues in apartment 5J (July 2024). The building has open Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2022-2023 regarding failure to file mandatory energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores.

Recent facade and structural concerns have been documented, with multiple active ECB violations related to building maintenance, including issues with the sidewalk shed and exterior repairs (September 2024), and prior violations for cracked windows and spalling brick work. Elevator and gas utility concerns were documented in 2021, and there have been historical rodent activity reports from 2012-2022. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a relatively clean record concerning pest control, with only one documented bedbug incident in 2019 and regular pest control inspections showing no infestations in recent years.
