740 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

This two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located at 740 East 225th Street in Wakefield, owned by Simon Shllaku and built in 1930, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2021 and 2023. The most recent heat-related complaints were made in December 2023, with HPD inspections conducted on December 21 and December 24, though no violations were issued in these recent cases.

The building has also faced various maintenance and safety concerns, including unresolved violations from a March 2021 inspection in apartment 2E noting issues with elevated water temperature, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and inoperable safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). In mid-2024, the building received two ECB violations related to inadequate housekeeping and debris management in common areas, though these were resolved with a total penalty of $2,500.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 to 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units during each annual filing period. Additionally, there were plumbing issues documented in 2021, with violations issued for sink and bathtub problems. The building appears to have regular inspections and reporting requirements, including an annual bedbug report that has been properly filed in recent years, and there was a permit issued in February 2020 for work at the property.
