685 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The five-story, 46-unit residential building at 685 East 225th Street in Wakefield, built in 1931 and currently owned by Anthony Gazivoda, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of water-related problems throughout 2025, with five separate complaints about slow leaks recorded between March and June of this year. The building has also faced some concerning conditions including mold issues (resolved between March-April 2025), and several maintenance violations.
In December 2024, significant violations were identified in apartments 1B and 3F, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, while apartment 3G was noted for pest infestations. The building's management has multiple active violations regarding External Low Pressure Inspection filings from 2022-2023 and a 2024 inspection showing defective front masonry facade condition at the 5th floor level, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. Additional historical context shows a period of structural concerns with a building shaking/struct stability complaint in late 2024, and HVAC issues were noted in 2023 regarding a defective boiler.
The property maintains a relatively good record regarding pest control, with bedbug inspection reports from 2021-2024 showing no infested or re-infested units. Rodent inspections conducted in October 2022 passed successfully. The building has had some issues with smoking in prohibited areas, as evidenced by a May 2025 complaint. While many maintenance issues have been addressed and closed through appropriate channels, including HPD and DOB, the frequency of water-related complaints and the presence of mold and pest issues indicate some ongoing challenges with building maintenance and conditions.
