757 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

757 East 226th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Prel Rudaj. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues from late 2022 through early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD, particularly during the winter months when these systems are most critical.

Specifically, there were 10 documented heat/hot water complaints between February 2023 and January 2025, with both apartment-specific and entire building descriptors. While most of these complaints were resolved promptly, they indicate an ongoing concern with the building's heating systems. The building has also faced notable habitability challenges, particularly in apartment 6C, as documented during a February 2022 inspection.

This unit had multiple violations, including problems with self-closing doors, a rodent infestation, mold conditions in the bathroom, and issues with peeling paint requiring remediation. While some of these violations have since been closed, others, particularly those related to mold and paint, were marked as open as of 2022, suggesting these conditions may not have been fully resolved. More recent inspections, including rodent inspections from October 2022, have resulted in passing grades, and the building's bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate no infestations during these periods, with the most recent reports showing no infested or previously infested units.
