722 East 228th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The four-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building at 722 East 228th Street in Wakefield, owned by Nafije Dedushi, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly concerning heat/hot water systems and pest control. Most recently, in May 2025, there were two complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests that could not be inspected due to access issues. The building has had several heat and hot water complaints in 2025 alone, all marked as "APARTMENT ONLY," with restoration confirmed by tenants during inspections.

Between 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of pest-related problems, with HPD inspections having varied outcomes—some requiring re-inspection due to access issues, though one complaint in July 2023 resulted in no violations. The building's violation history shows a mix of open and closed issues as of 2025. Multiple violations were documented in 2022, particularly in apartment 4A, including problems with windows, doors, radiator valves, plastered surfaces, and bedbug reporting compliance.

Notable past infestations were recorded, with the most recent bedbug report from April 2025 showing zero infested units for the period. Earlier disturbances included water leak issues in apartment 1D and various heating system problems. The Department of Buildings has records of inspection attempts in 2021 related to boiler issues, but inspectors were unable to gain access in two instances. While there have been several pest control challenges, a rodent inspection in late 2022 passed compliance, though an earlier inspection in October 2022 failed for "Other Reasons."
