603 East 236th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 603 East 236th Street in Wakefield, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Jason Brazier, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with at least two of these cases being resolved through HPD verification. A persistent water leak complaint with heavy flow was also filed during the same period, though inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.

The building has an open Class C violation from October 2024 concerning a mouse infestation in Apartment 2, along with several other open violations affecting this unit, including issues with walls and ceiling conditions requiring painting and plaster repairs. The property has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including mechanical systems and safety features. Previous violations from 2022-2023 indicate issues with the building's stairway concrete treads, boiler room ceiling materials, and various maintenance deficiencies in Apartment 2.

While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (with the most recent filing showing no current infestations), it should be noted that an earlier report from 2021 indicated the removal of three infested units. An initial rodent inspection in October 2022 passed, suggesting some historical pest control measures have been effective. The building's age and history of maintenance issues, particularly relating to basic services like heat and water, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort that prospective tenants should be aware of.
