1047 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1047 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Yonatan Bahumi, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In addition to these persistent heating problems, more recent service requests in 2025 have focused on paint and plaster issues, though HPD was unable to access the necessary areas for inspection in this case. The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from a June 2024 inspection, including concerns about self-closing doors in both the first-floor and basement areas, as well as issues related to electrical and gas supply systems across multiple apartments.

Notably, there were building stability concerns in 2021, with complaints about shaking and structural issues, though these complaints were ultimately referred to HPD for resolution. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2016-2020 showing consistent failures to comply with rodent control requirements, including documented rat activity and the need for bait application in 2017. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the last three annual filings (2023, 2022, and 2021) showing zero infested units, the building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure.

The Department of Buildings has issued active environmental control board violations from 2021 regarding exterior wall maintenance, including documented cracks and deterioration of the building's brick walls, with associated penalties that remain due. Recent improvements in building management practices are suggested by the consistent closure of complaints through 2024-2025, though many involved violations requiring correction. The building's data shows a mixed history of compliance with housing regulations, with particular attention needed to address the remaining open violations regarding doors, electrical systems, and heating issues. The pattern of heating system problems, documented through multiple service requests and violations, represents the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge for this property.
