745 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

Located in Wakefield, 745 East 223rd Street is a 3-story, 9-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Pnc Properties, LLC. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, particularly affecting the entire building during the winter months.

There have been several inspections resulting in violations during these incidents, though some complaints were resolved with confirmation of restored services. In late 2024, the building underwent significant scrutiny after a December inspection of apartment 8 revealed multiple violations, including defective door locks, leaky faucets, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a pest infestation involving both roaches and mice. While most of these violations were certified as corrected by late December 2024, two plumbing-related violations remained open as of mid-2025.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring window frame issues, with complaints logged in both 2024 and 2025, along with problems affecting kitchen appliances such as the electric range and refrigerator. The property has maintained a bedbug-free record over the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), though rodent inspections in late 2022 showed evidence of rat activity, marking a significant concern for that period. The building's violation history also includes various repair needs, such as addressing window spring balance issues, though many historical violations and complaints have been closed through proper resolution or correction.
