812 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 812 East 227th Street in Wakefield, built in 1910 and currently owned by Derrick George, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most notable being persistent heat and hot water problems. Between 2018 and 2022, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water service, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While these issues were typically resolved promptly, they indicate an ongoing infrastructure challenge.

Additionally, the building has faced various safety concerns, including multiple emergency complaints in 2021 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as a broken/missing window guard. The property has documented maintenance violations and repairs concentrated primarily in Apartment 3. These include issues with lead-based paint, mold, broken floor tiles, and various plumbing and flooring repairs, though many of these violations have been subsequently closed.

A significant health concern was reported in 2020 involving mold, for which HPD could not gain access to inspect. More recently, the building has shown improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2021-2025). The most recent rodent inspection in October 2022 resulted in a passed inspection, while earlier inspections in 2010 and 2016 show similar improvements. The building's records indicate a pattern of prompt response to complaints, though the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
