East 233Rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 116-unit, 7-story residential building at 761 East 233rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Javier Monroy, has experienced recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues since its construction in 2020. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints recorded between February and June 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced significant pest-related challenges, with several unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in May and June 2025, one of which resulted in violations being issued. While there have been periods of pest control effectiveness, as evidenced by bedbug reports showing eradication of all 116 units in 2023-2024, the recent pest complaints indicate continuing issues.

During its construction phase in 2020, the building faced several safety and compliance violations, particularly regarding construction safety and scaffolding issues, resulting in penalties totaling over $5,000. These violations were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained generally good rodent control, passing inspections in 2023, and has complied with building permit requirements since its construction. Recent maintenance violations have included water leaks and various repair needs, particularly in apartment 2J, where multiple violations were issued in late 2024.

The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, as evidenced by multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2025-2023. The property has shown periods of compliance with key housing codes, including recent rodent inspections passing and complete bedbug eradication reports. However, the building has also faced administrative issues such as failure to timely file energy efficiency reports, which resulted in violations in 2020 and 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's relatively recent construction (completed in 2020) and active permit status suggest that some infrastructure systems are still undergoing refinement and adjustment to fully meet building code requirements.
