724 East 231st Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, three-story building at 724 East 231st Street in Wakefield, owned by Beverley Taylor, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water emergency in August 2023 where inspectors were unable to access the building to verify the problem. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges throughout 2023, including findings of unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (April), plumbing issues with water supply (April), and a broken/missing window guard (April).

The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024, as evidenced by four consecutive Annual Bedbug Report violations filed with the Housing Maintenance Code. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint regarding building shaking/vibrating/structural stability, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

The building's complaint history reveals ongoing safety and accessibility concerns, with an egress issue reported in August 2023 regarding locked/blocked exits, though inspectors were unable to gain access during the inspection. While there have been multiple service requests and violations recorded, it's worth noting that many complaints were investigated without resulting in formal violations, including the April 2023 plumbing, safety, and sanitation issues. The most recent bedbug report filing period (November 2023 - October 2024) shows no reported infestations or related issues, with the same pattern observed for the previous period (November 2022 - October 2023), suggesting improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
