940 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 940 East 225th Street in Wakefield, owned by Javier Monroy, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in September 2024, there were eight separate service requests to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various problems including pest infestations, issues with electrical appliances (ranges and outlets), wall conditions, and radiator plumbing problems. Notably, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions.

In late 2022, the building experienced heat and hot water supply problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, leading to violations. Two units (apartments 2 and 3) had violations issued in 2022 for issues including inadequate hot water supply and pest infestations (specifically roaches), while apartment 3 had additional violations for problems with self-closing doors and hot water fixtures. Earlier records from 2021 show violations related to plaster and paint conditions, as well as roof leakage in apartment 3's bathroom.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly involving heating systems and pest control. While the most recent bedbug reports (from 2023-2024) indicate no current infestations, they previously documented the eradication of three units in 2022, suggesting past pest control challenges. The property has experienced multiple heat and hot water-related complaints, with emergency service requests filed in 2022, and various violations related to building systems maintenance. It is worth noting that all HPD violations associated with the building have been closed, indicating that at least some of the previously identified issues have been addressed, though recent service requests from September 2024 remain uninspected.
