663 East 234th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The property at 663 East 234th Street in Wakefield, owned by Betty Johnson and built in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has had recurrent problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, including a building-wide heat/hot water issue in December 2024 and both apartment-specific and building-wide problems in October 2024 and April 2025.

The building also currently has open violations related to bedbug report filing requirements and multiple hardwood floor repair issues in Apartment 1, documented in April 2024, along with concerns about loose cabinet doors in the kitchen of the same apartment. Historical complaints from 2022 indicate more serious structural concerns, including a building shaking/vibrating issue in December 2022 that resulted in a full vacate order and an active violation regarding standing water in the cellar level due to a water main break.

The building has also faced sanitary issues, with the most recent complaint regarding sewage conditions filed in April 2025, though this was reportedly corrected according to HPD's follow-up. An investigation conducted in October 2023 resulted in general violations related to cabinet conditions and plumbing, with HPD issuing some violations while finding no violations for other issues investigated. While the building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges primarily focused on heating systems and water-related issues, it's worth noting that many complaints have been addressed and closed, with the exception of several open violations and an active plumbing complaint as of June 2025.
