956 East 233rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 956 East 233rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Dror Ezroni, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water, with at least five reported incidents between 2018 and 2021, some classified as emergency situations by HPD. In early 2024, multiple violations were documented, including problems with fire retardant ceilings, loose handrails, door gaps, stair treads, and rear yard paving.

A concerning mold condition (approximately 30 square feet) was identified in the cellar, though records indicate this was addressed by June 2024. The building's infrastructure shows various maintenance needs, including a leaking roof over the third-floor hall, broken window guards, and issues with self-closing doors. The property has maintained a pest-free status in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2022 and 2025, and completed successful remediation of any previous pest issues.

While there were rodent inspection failures recorded in December 2011, there have been no similar reports in more recent years. The most recent inspection in 2024 resulted in several violations, though records indicate that these were certified as addressed by March 2024. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and safety features, though recent bedbug and pest reports suggest improvements in some maintenance areas.
