767 East 237th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 767 East 237th Street in Wakefield, owned by Dawda Jabbie, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, particularly during 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks (including heavy flow incidents), heating and hot water problems, and cooking gas issues. Emergency complaints related to these systems were submitted in April 2022, with some inspections resulting in no violations found, while others could not be accessed for inspection. The building has also faced significant infrastructure concerns, as evidenced by multiple Emergency Control Board violations with active penalties totaling $125,000 related to work conducted without proper permits in the rear cellar.

The property has a documented history of heating and water supply issues, with prior violations in 2018 and 2021 indicating problems with adequate heat and water supply to Apartment 1. Serious safety concerns were raised in 2022 regarding the fire escape, though no violations were issued following inspection. More recently, in 2023, there were complaints regarding potential illegal conversion work, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and completed a bedbug reporting showing no infestations in 2024, which indicates some improvement in overall maintenance. A notable administrative issue involved a failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, though this was later dismissed in July 2023 as paid. While the building has addressed some historical issues, the pattern of complaints related to essential services like heat, hot water, and plumbing systems suggests continued monitoring of basic infrastructure reliability.
