752 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family residence at 752 East 227th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Ashana Singh, was built in 1930 and contains 4 units across 2 stories. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in early 2025, with multiple complaints related to heat and hot water systems, including two emergency complaints - one for the entire building in April 2025 and one for an individual apartment in March 2025.

The building has also faced a concerning pattern of plumbing and sanitation issues, with multiple reports of plumbing problems (including toilet and radiator issues), water leaks, and pest infestations between March and April 2025, though not all of these complaints resulted in violations. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns about the building's interior conditions, with multiple non-urgent complaints about paint and plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings.

The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations documented from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. While the most recent bedbug report filed in November 2023 (covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022) indicated no infestation was present during that period, the building experienced rodent inspection failures in October and December 2022. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted multiple inspections in response to tenant complaints, though in several instances (notably regarding pests, flooring issues, and some plumbing concerns) inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations, suggesting potential challenges in accessing affected areas or verifying reported conditions.
