857 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit residential building at 857 East 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Faguang Zheng and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years, with official Notices of Violation issued in 2021, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all relating to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as stipulated under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. However, despite these violations, the building's subsequent bedbug report filings from 2022 through 2024 show no documented cases of infestation, with all reporting periods (2020-2021, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024) declaring zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

Additionally, the building underwent rodent inspections in October 2022, passing the initial inspection with no noted concerns. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in the most recent filing period (2023-2024), submitting the report in December 2024, although this filing was submitted after the April 2024 violation was recorded.

It's important to note that while the building has experienced periodic violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, the actual infestation cases appear to have been effectively addressed, with no reported instances of infestation or eradication during the specified reporting periods. The building's relatively young age (built in 2006) and small number of units (3) may be factors in its management of these issues, and the absence of other significant violations or complaints on record suggests that bedbug reporting compliance represents the primary regulatory challenge for this property.
