746 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 746 East 224th Street in Wakefield, owned by Ron Shahar, is a 2-story brick building constructed in 1925. The property has experienced multiple recurring issues throughout 2024, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water problems documented in at least five separate complaints between April and October 2024.

These heating-related complaints often required emergency intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with one recent complaint in October 2024 closing without inspection access to verify the condition. Additionally, the building has faced challenges with sanitation, particularly mold, with three complaints in 2024, including two in April that resulted in inspections with no violations found. There was also a plumbing issue involving a toilet in April 2024 that resulted in documented violations.

Earlier records from 2021 show various complaints related to construction, debris, and safety compliance, though inspections generally found no violations or resulted in closed cases. These included concerns about construction beyond approved plans, illegal venting, excessive debris, and construction safety compliance issues, with one instance of a stop work order being fully rescinded. While the 2021 complaints were mostly resolved without major penalties, they indicate a pattern of building maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted into 2024, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture-related issues.
