1039 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The property at 1039 East 227th Street in Wakefield is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Abraham Oyewo. Most recently, in May 2024, the building experienced multiple maintenance issues, including concerns with water leaks, wall conditions, and plumbing in bathrooms.

While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in August 2024 did not result in violations for several of these complaints, there are currently three open violations related to the basement apartment (BASEME) that require attention. These violations, all issued in August 2024, include a B-class violation for water leak issues, problems with plaster and paint surfaces, and defects in the bathroom bathtub, as well as a separate violation regarding a mold condition in the kitchen. The building's inspection history reveals a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, including successive years (2021-2024) showing violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, though the most recent filing for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no current infestations or treatment requirements.

The property has been subject to regular oversight by HPD, with inspections revealing various maintenance needs over recent years. While some violations have been closed, the presence of current open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history of maintenance requests and violations warrant attention from prospective tenants, particularly regarding the current open violations related to water damage, mold, and bathroom facilities in the basement apartment.
