717 East 228th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The four-story, 17-unit building at 717 East 228th Street in Wakefield, owned by Sam Stahl, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during 2025. The most pressing concerns occurred between January and February 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, which resulted in violations being issued.
More recent complaints in March 2025 involved unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pest problems, though inspections showed no violations. The building has a history of security and maintenance violations, including multiple illegal conversion complaints between 2022-2025 (three unsuccessful inspection attempts regarding a purported illegal cellar apartment with bathroom and kitchen) and several safety issues documented in late 2024, such as a defective self-closing door on the 4th floor and various entrance door problems.
A particular area of concern is apartment 4D, which had multiple violations in late 2024 for pest infestations (mice and roaches), as well as issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, with emergency responses to electrical and plumbing problems in January 2025, and a history of rodent inspections showing repeated failures between 2013-2022, though a compliance inspection passed in 2024. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past several years, with no reported infestations from 2019-2024.
