934 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 934 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Salvatore D'Avola, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues since 2021. Most recently, in May 2025, there is an open emergency complaint regarding stairs, and in February 2024, there was a heat and hot water issue that was closed without inspection access. The building has persistent structural concerns, particularly with the front porch, as documented by multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2021-2022, including missing bricks, stability issues, and maintenance problems, with penalties totaling $21,250.

Several complaints in 2022-2023 were related to building safety and maintenance, including a slow water leak, unsanitary garbage storage, and various plumbing and plaster issues. The property has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding refuse accumulation from 2022, though this appears to be an ongoing administrative issue rather than a pressing safety concern. Significant structural and safety-related events include multiple inspections and violations in 2021-2022 when the building was reportedly vacant and open/unguarded, leading to Partial Vacate Orders and Oath Violations.

There was also a building shaking/structural stability complaint in April 2021. The property has undergone various inspections and work order responses throughout 2022-2025, with the most recent being an open stairs-related issue in May 2025. Interestingly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2023), suggesting effective pest management during this period. While many previous complaints have been resolved, the pattern of structural and maintenance issues, combined with the most recent open complaints, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges at this century-old building.
