666 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 46-unit, 5-story tenement at 666 East 224th Street in Wakefield, built in 1929 and currently owned by Shimon Greisman, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues recently. Most notably, there are open plumbing issues as of June 2025 involving a basin/sink, and the building has faced recurring problems with window guards, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2025. Between March and June 2025, several safety and habitability concerns were addressed, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and heat/hot water systems affecting the entire building.

The property has also experienced pest issues, as demonstrated by multiple complaints in March 2025, and unsanitary conditions related to mold that were inspected by HPD. Looking at historical data, the building has undergone various repairs and faced multiple violations over the past two years. In 2024, violations were issued regarding an intercommunication system, self-closing doors, and window guards in apartment 1A, all of which were subsequently closed.

The building's systems have been a focus of attention, with a November 2022 inspection revealing issues with leaking tubes, exposed wiring, and a leaking boiler drain valve, though these violations were resolved. A benchmarking report violation from 2019 was dismissed after confirmation of submission. The property appears to be maintaining a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years, and passed rodent inspections in 2023, showing improvement from previous failures in 2015 and May 2023.
