E 223Rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 44-unit, 6-story residential building at E 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Robert Lumaj, has experienced several notable issues since its completion in 2022. Most concerning is an open flooring/stairs complaint reported in March 2025, which remains unresolved as of the current date.

The building faced significant utility challenges in December 2024, with complaints regarding power outages, electric/gas range problems, and heating/hot water issues, though these were all eventually closed, with heat and hot water reportedly restored during inspections. Earlier in 2024, there were additional heating problems, including two separate heating complaints in February that were resolved, and an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that was not fully inspectable but was subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows recurring heating system issues, with similar problems documented in February 2022 shortly after construction.

A bedbug report from the 2023-2024 period showed no infestation cases, and previous filings from 2022-2023 also reported zero affected units. A Department of Buildings inspection in August 2023 related to street sweeping resulted in no violations. While the building has had various infrastructure and maintenance issues in its short history, the absence of recent bedbug reports and the resolution of most complaints suggests some level of ongoing maintenance response, though the open flooring complaint represents the most current area of concern as of March 2025.
