841 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The six-unit, two-story tenement building at 841 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Devon Chambers, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2024, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between February and April 2024, there were multiple emergency service requests regarding inconsistent heat and hot water, with the most recent complaints filed in late April 2024.

The building currently has open violations from March 2024 that include issues with heating adequacy in the basement apartment, multiple window and door lock problems in Apartment 5, and required repairs to a variety of surfaces including floors, walls, and doors. The building's heating system has been a persistent concern, with violations specifying inadequate heat supply in both the basement and violation of access requirements to the boiler room. Additional maintenance issues documented throughout 2024 include problems with flooring, door/windows, and interior surfaces, many of which resulted in Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations.

The building has also completed multiple maintenance requests that were resolved, though many involved conditions requiring repeated complaints for resolution. On a positive note, rat activity was only detected in late 2022 during inspections, with a subsequent compliance inspection showing no rodent issues. An open violation from April 2024 requires the owner to file an annual bedbug report, though there are no recorded bedbug complaints in the database.
