629 East 222nd Street, Bronx, NY 10467

629 East 222nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Wakefield, currently owned by Arthur Franciosa. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints recorded between December 2024 and January 2025, though each was resolved according to HPD records. The property has undergone significant construction activity between 2019-2020, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances and several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints.

During this period, there were multiple violations related to construction safety compliance, including inadequate guardrails, debris management, and protection of adjoining properties, with penalties totaling $5,000. However, all these violations have since been resolved. Recent building maintenance records show generally improved conditions, with no new violations for bedbugs (previously reported annually with no infestations noted) and a passed rodent inspection in November 2022.

While there have been various maintenance issues reported over the past five years, including window pane repairs, electric power outages, and unsanitary conditions in garbage storage, most of these have been addressed promptly. The building's history shows consistent efforts to maintain compliance with housing regulations, though the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints suggests an ongoing issue with the building's heating system. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate successful pest management, with zero infestations reported in the last three annual filings.
