753 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

753 East 224th Street is a three-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building in Wakefield, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Joseph Rodney. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in March 2025 focusing on water leaks, paint/plaster problems, and pest infestations, though no violations were issued in these cases. A significant inspection in November 2024 revealed multiple violations in apartment 6, including issues with doors, faucets, plaster surfaces, carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestation (mice), and radiator problems, though these violations remain open as of July 2025.

Previous environmental concerns include an active ECB violation from February 2023 regarding drainage issues outside apartment 1W, for which a penalty was imposed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots, including a heavy flow emergency in March 2025. There have also been recurring pest control issues, with violations issued for unsanitary conditions in November 2024.

Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with failed inspections noted in 2022 and 2023, though the most recent compliance inspection passed. The building appears to be in need of ongoing maintenance and attention to address the various violations and recurring issues documented in recent years, particularly concerning water damage, pest control, and general habitability standards. While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years, the building's overall maintenance record suggests continued oversight may be necessary to ensure proper living conditions for residents.
