918 East 233rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

This three-story, two-family house at 918 East 233rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Hopeton Bartley, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, with particular concern for recurring electrical and sanitation problems. Most notably, in October 2024, the building faced new electrical issues with inadequate lighting in the second-floor apartment that resulted in open violations, though previous electrical concerns including a power outage in January 2023 had been resolved without violations.

The property has also grappled with plumbing and sanitation challenges, including a broken/missing window guard reported in July 2024, various mold issues (most recently in January 2023), and multiple sewage-related problems noted in September 2022 that resulted in violations. The building's third-floor apartment (Floor 3) appears to be particularly affected, with multiple documented violations from January 2023 including issues with a loose toilet, refrigerator gasket, electrical switch, roof leak, ceiling plaster and paint, window sashes, and significant mold presence in the bathroom.

While some of these violations were addressed and certified as corrected by February 2023, including the roof repair and various other maintenance issues, the more recent electrical problems in October 2024 suggest ongoing infrastructural challenges. The property has passed rodent compliance inspections in September 2022 and August 2022, though failed compliance in the latter indicates potential pest management concerns. The building was constructed in 1931 and consists of three stories, with a total of two units, representing typical residential configuration for the Wakefield neighborhood.
