647 East 229th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 647 East 229th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Eli Weissman, has a significant history of maintenance issues and compliance concerns since 2018. Most recently, between October 2024 and February 2025, the building experienced multiple violations requiring HPD inspections, including problems with a shower/bathtub, flooring, and wall conditions.
These issues followed an August-September 2024 inspection period where violations were found regarding flooring, cabinets, and a refrigerator. The building has also faced several challenges related to access for inspections, with multiple complaints in 2024 and 2022 (including four illegal conversion complaints) resulting in inspectors being unable to gain access during their second attempts.
Between 2018 and 2024, the property underwent three separate illegal conversion investigations (most recently in November 2024), and from March to September 2022, there were serious safety concerns regarding egress and work without permits that warranted violations. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, as shown in their most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 and August 2024, which documented zero infested units. While the building's maintenance history shows some recent improvements, particularly in bedbug management, the property continues to experience recurring maintenance issues requiring government intervention and has a persistent pattern of access issues during inspections.
