919 East 229th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 3-story, 5-unit tenement building at 919 East 229th Street in Wakefield, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by East 229 Residents LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, particularly in 2024 and 2025, with at least one current open violation regarding inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1 as of January 2024. The building has also faced significant plumbing issues, with complaints regarding sinks and bathtubs/showers in 2022-2023, and electrical problems including power outages in both 2022 and 2024.

A concerning rodent problem was documented in August 2023, and subsequent inspections in September and October 2023 resulted in failed compliance. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, with no confirmed cases. The property's history shows particular focus on Apartment 1 during inspections, with previous violations including mold conditions, defective plastered surfaces, and paint issues being resolved between 2021-2022.

Apartment 3 has been mentioned in violation records regarding window guards and various maintenance issues in 2022. While the building has experienced several emergency situations requiring HPD intervention, most complaints were addressed promptly, though access issues have sometimes prevented full inspections. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in late 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt in December 2022. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heating and plumbing systems, warranting close attention to current conditions.
