774 East 236th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 774 East 236th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Basmattie Rajkumar, was constructed in 1943 and is classified as a converted Class A property. The building has experienced some notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years.

In October 2019, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to inspect due to access issues. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four consecutive violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, though these violations were eventually closed.

Recent records indicate improvement in pest management, with the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2024 showing no infested units during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023, and the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in October 2022. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing violations once cited, as evidenced by the closure of the bedbug reporting violations. The absence of recent heat or hot water complaints since 2019 may suggest improvements to the building's systems, though the initial lack of access during the 2019 inspection should be noted as a potential concern if similar issues were to arise again.
