766 East 235th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, three-unit building at 766 East 235th Street in Wakefield, owned by Thelma Shakespeare, has undergone several significant maintenance challenges over its recent history since construction in 1930. Most notably, in August 2019, the property experienced multiple related issues including an unsanitary pest infestation, mold problems, and ceiling maintenance concerns.

These led to Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting basement Apartment 1, where there were documented issues with mice infestation, water leakage, and defective plastered surfaces requiring repair. The building has also faced recurring obligations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with three separate violations issued between 2022 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code.

On a more positive note, recent bedbug report filings from 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2025 indicate no current infestations or previous eradication efforts required during those reporting periods, suggesting improved pest management in recent years. As of the latest available information, all previously cited violations have been closed, including the 2019 pest, mold, and maintenance issues, which were resolved and closed by September 2019. The property appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the last violation in 2024, with the most recent report showing zero infested or previously infested units.
