852 East 231st Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 852 East 231st Street in Wakefield, owned by Marcia Alexander, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is an open gas supply violation related to the kitchen range in the first-floor apartment, documented during an inspection on August 22, 2019. During June 2020, the property faced multiple non-emergency complaints that were not able to be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with wall paint/plaster in multiple locations, reported unsanitary conditions related to pests, and plumbing problems affecting the bathtub/shower.

Additionally, there was a June 2020 complaint about indoor sewage odors that resulted in an advisory to the owner. Earlier in 2019, a complaint regarding the electric/gas range was investigated and resulted in violations being issued. It's worth noting that while many of these complaints were officially closed, a significant number were closed due to lack of access for inspection, and one gas range violation remains open - the only current violation on record as of October 2023.

The building, constructed in 1965, is a two-story structure containing two residential units. Despite the multiple complaints and violations recorded over the past few years, there have been no documented complaints or violations related to the property since October 2023. The pattern of complaints suggests particular attention may be needed regarding access for inspections, as several issues went unverified due to this reason, and there appear to be recurring concerns with both plumbing and wall conditions throughout the building.
