957 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 957 East 227th Street in Wakefield, NY, managed by owner Jose Morillo, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly between 2020-2022. Most notably, during October 2022, the building faced multiple sanitary violations including pest infestations, sewage problems, and mold, with one of these conditions being classified as an emergency. These issues resulted in Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations, including a Class C violation for roach infestation and a Class B violation for a defective carbon monoxide detector in the first-floor apartment.

Additional complaints from 2020 included pest issues and problems with garbage/recycling storage, though not all inspections were able to gain access to verify these conditions. More recent records show some improvements in infestation management. According to the most recent bedbug reporting filings (June 2023 and June 2025), there have been no confirmed bedbug infestations in any dwelling units during the 2022-2024 period, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's maintenance history also includes a 2022 violation regarding bathroom waste line obstructions, which was certified as corrected in November 2022. While the frequency and severity of reported issues appear to have decreased significantly since late 2022, with no new complaints on record in over two years, the building's history shows a pattern of pest-related problems and sanitary concerns that were concentrated during the 2020-2022 period. The property is currently classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A" and was built in 1930, containing two stories and two units.
