685 East 240th Street, Bronx, NY 10470

The two-family house at 685 East 240th Street in Wakefield, owned by Eddie Levy, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, there were multiple simultaneous emergencies including a heat and hot water problem, an electric power outage, and an appliance issue (electric/gas range) - three of these complaints were marked as emergencies and one as non-emergency.

In late 2023, the building was subject to inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for unsanitary conditions including mold and ceiling paint/plaster issues, resulting in violations being issued, though inspections related to these problems in 2022 had been unsuccessful due to access issues. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with mold and water damage, particularly in the November months of both 2022 and 2023, and tenant concerns about heat and electrical systems.

Despite these challenges, there has been no reported bedbug activity in the building during the most recent reporting period (November 2023 to October 2024), with the records showing zero infested units, zero eradication efforts, and no re-infestation cases. The property's violations history suggests a pattern of building maintenance issues that warrant attention, with the most reliable information coming from the most recent complaints in 2025. All complaints have been officially closed, though some required tenants to submit new service requests if issues persisted.
