606 East 239th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The 4-unit residential building at 606 East 239th Street in Wakefield, owned by Taskeen Vaid-iqbal, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. Most significantly, there were multiple service requests in June 2025, including problems with plumbing (toilet), electrical wiring, various electrical outlets, cabinet issues, pest infestations, and refrigerator problems, all of which resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for proper inspection. These complaints have all been closed, though residents were encouraged to refile if the issues persist.

Earlier in 2025, there were verified violations regarding heating/hot water and garbage/recycling storage conditions. Looking at the building's history over the past few years, a pattern of maintenance challenges emerges, particularly in Apartment 2F. Inspections in late 2024 identified multiple violations including lead paint hazards, window damage, and a rodent infestation, with most of these violations being certified as corrected by January 2025.

The building has also had two significant complaints regarding boiler issues and improper drainage in late 2024 and late 2023 respectively, though inspectors were unable to access the premises to complete their evaluations. While the building has passed rodent compliance inspections in the past (notably in August 2021), the recent pest complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, the building's bedbug reports for the past five years show no recorded infestations, which is a positive indicator of pest management in this regard.
