721 East 228th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 721 East 228th Street in Wakefield, owned by Sam Stahl, is currently experiencing multiple significant maintenance issues as of 2025. Most notably, there are ongoing emergency water leak problems, with two heavy flow leaks reported in May 2025, and several other plumbing and water-related complaints from April 2025, including issues with basins/sinks and both slow and heavy water leaks.
These recent water-related problems follow a pattern of similar historical issues, with multiple water leak complaints recorded in 2024-2025, including problems in apartments 3A and in various common areas. The building has faced various maintenance challenges over the past couple of years, including significant violations identified in November 2024 during an inspection of apartment 3A, where multiple issues were documented including water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and pest infestations (roaches and mice). While these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024, patterns of recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2019-2024. An inspection of the building's boiler room in 2022 resulted in a violation for an uncovered electrical box and debris, which was subsequently resolved with a $312 penalty. The building's rodent inspection history shows a failed inspection in 2010 and a passed inspection in 2022, indicating improvements in pest management over the years.
