940 East 228th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 940 East 228th Street in Wakefield, owned by Kevin Rivera, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2018-2019. The property, built in 1920, consists of two stories and contains two units. A major cluster of complaints emerged between late 2018 and mid-2019, with tenants reporting problems including heat and hot water outages, various plumbing issues, water supply problems, and concerns about doors and flooring.

Multiple complaints were filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, many of which resulted in no access being granted for inspection. In May 2019, a comprehensive inspection revealed several violations primarily affecting the first-floor apartment, including plumbing problems with sinks and toilets, broken cabinets, defective doors, and issues with plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen. There were also health-related concerns involving visible mold in the kitchen area, and multiple repairs were needed for kitchen fixtures and furniture.

The building had at least 10 open violations as of May 2019, covering various categories such as water supply, flooring, sanitation, and general maintenance. While some violations were categorized as Class B (requiring correction within a reasonable time) and Class C (requiring urgent attention), the more recent history of the building from late 2019 onward is not documented in the available data through October 2023. It's important to note that the HPD inspections and 311 service requests indicate consistent access issues, with inspectors often unable to examine the reported problems, suggesting potential challenges in addressing maintenance concerns.
