734 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

734 East 227th Street is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Benet Shllaku and located in the Wakefield neighborhood of the Bronx. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in both March 2020 (affecting the entire building) and March 2019 (apartment-specific), though these complaints were eventually resolved, with the 2020 incident noted as emergency status.

In 2022, the building received a violation related to bedbug reporting requirements, though no actual infestations were reported in subsequent annual filings from 2019 through 2025, indicating proper maintenance and eradication procedures were followed. The property has undergone rodent inspections in late 2022, with mixed results: an initial October 2022 inspection noted rat activity, while a subsequent November 2022 compliance inspection passed.

The building's environmental and maintenance records show attention to pest control and compliance with city regulations, with consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infested or eradicated units across all reporting periods, covering from 2019 through 2025. While the heating system has experienced problems in the past, the absence of recent heating complaints since 2020 suggests these issues may have been addressed, though the lack of heating system-related complaints in the past three years should be viewed cautiously as there could be a reporting lag.
