640 East 239th Street, Bronx, NY 10470
The three-story building at 640 East 239th Street in Wakefield, owned by Phyllis Wilson, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly regarding heating, electrical systems, and basic amenities. The most significant recent problems occurred during the winter of 2021-2022, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages, some of which required emergency intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
During this period, there were also issues with electrical systems, including power outages and lighting problems, which resulted in multiple violations being issued. The building currently has several open violations related to maintenance requirements, including three annual bedbug report violations from 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections, as well as multiple Class B violations from January 2022 concerning defective lighting fixtures in Apartment 1's bathroom, kitchen, and living areas, as well as a broken doorbell.
While there have been some improvements in building conditions since the 2021-2022 winter season, as evidenced by the resolution of many earlier complaints, the persistence of open violations regarding basic building maintenance requirements suggests ongoing oversight challenges. The most recent complaint inspection from January 2023 found no violations, though this was for a different address (10470).
