804 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, two-family house at 804 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Suzette Forrest-Smith, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the areas of electrical and plumbing systems, over the past few years. Most recently, in October 2024, there was a power outage that resulted in violations being issued by HPD, though the property had a history of electrical problems earlier in the year, including no lighting in February 2024 and a related incident in November 2023 involving wiring issues.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, with multiple documented complaints including water supply issues in August 2024, and several plumbing problems reported in November 2023 involving toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, many of which were categorized as emergencies. Between late 2022 and 2023, the property underwent inspections for various issues that resulted in violations, including problems with water leaks, pests (unsanitary conditions), and bathroom fixtures.

While some complaints were resolved without violations being issued—such as those concerning the refrigerator and electric/gas range—there has been a consistent pattern of maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention. The building's documented problems suggest ongoing concerns with basic infrastructure systems, particularly electrical and plumbing, though not all complaints resulted in violations or required emergency responses.
