712 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 712 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Samuel Weiss and constructed in 2006, has experienced a range of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed in 2023-2024, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued. There were also significant issues with pests, evidenced by two complaints in February 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

In early 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint that was resolved upon verification. The building has shown some history of maintenance challenges, including a mold incident in March 2023 and concerns about cooking gas that same month. Looking further back, the building's history includes several notable violations requiring attention. In 2018, there were multiple violations in Apartment 3 regarding roaches, water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, and various repair needs including issues with plaster surfaces and cabinet doors.

Apartment 2 also had water leak problems identified in 2018, along with a violation regarding an interior room's window requirements. The building has consistently filed Bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2020 through 2024, and successfully passed a rodent inspection in October 2022. While some historical violations exist, most have been addressed and closed, suggesting ongoing maintenance attention to building requirements. The most recent service requests continue to focus primarily on sanitation issues, particularly around garbage storage, which appear to be an ongoing challenge for building management.
