715 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, two-story building at 715 East 226th Street in Wakefield, owned by Yonatan Bahumi, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months.

Between late March and early April 2025, the property generated multiple HPD complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, with the most concerning being repeated reports of water leaks with heavy flow, heating system problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), pest infestations, flooring issues, and unsanitary conditions including sewage problems. While some complaints from late March were inspected with no violations found regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues, many complaints - including those regarding heat/hot water systems, flooring, and pest problems - could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues, raising concerns about the building's current condition.

The pattern of emergency and non-emergency complaints, particularly regarding basic services like heat/water and sanitation issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted into 2025. All complaints from both late March and early April were officially closed within a week of reporting, though the resolution circumstances indicate that many issues may still require follow-up inspections to verify proper remediation.
