747 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, 23-unit residential building at 747 East 226th Street in Wakefield, owned by 747 East 226 St Realty Corp and constructed in 1963, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in March 2025, which was resolved promptly within two days.

The building has had recurring concerns regarding flooring conditions between 2024 and 2022, with multiple service requests filed through 311, some of which resulted in inspections where access could not be obtained. In 2022, significant water-related issues were documented, including heavy flow leaks and mold problems, particularly affecting apartment 2C's ceiling and walls, though these violations were eventually listed as "closed" following inspections. The property has a history of regulatory violations and safety concerns, including a 2024 violation regarding flower pots obstructing fire escape egress, which was certified for correction.

Additional issues documented in 2022 included problems with paint and plaster conditions in apartment 2C. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2020 and 2024, there were two rodent inspection failures in late 2022. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was often unable to gain access to inspect various complaints, particularly during multiple flooring-related service requests in 2024.
