715 East 237th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The two-family house at 715 East 237th Street in Wakefield, built in 1925, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control issues over recent years, with particular concerns about rodent activity and lead paint hazards. Most recently, in August 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene documented rodent violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has a documented history of pest-related problems, with four Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints in April 2022 alone, leading to violations being issued.
While some of the multiple floor, ceiling, and water-related issues from 2022 were resolved, there remain open violations as of September 2022 concerning defective wood floors in multiple rooms of the second-floor apartment. The property has shown persistent challenges with rodent inspections, most recently failing compliance checks in November 2024 and August 2024, though the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past year (2023-2024). The building's lead paint situation, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, has required multiple interventions, with several violations issued in September 2022 regarding peeling paint and deterioration, though some were marked as closed with various certified dates throughout 2023 and 2024.
The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of building system and safety issues requiring attention over the past few years, including water leaks, flooring problems, and various sanitary conditions. The most recent building inspection from January 2025 (following a complaint in October 2024) resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access. Despite these ongoing issues, there are some areas of improvement noted in recent data, such as the absence of bedbug infestations in the latest reporting period. The building's compliance history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections relating to various maintenance codes, suggesting that while some issues are being addressed, new problems continue to arise periodically.
