819 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, three-unit building at 819 East 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Devon Dixon, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent problems occurring in 2025. The property has multiple open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports for 2021-2024, which is a notable concern regarding pest management compliance.

In mid-2025, three separate complaints regarding pest-related issues were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with at least one resulting in violations. The building has also faced significant heat and hot water system problems in February 2025, affecting the entire building, which resulted in HPD violations and is particularly concerning given the emergency nature of these complaints. Additional inspections and complaints from early 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including issues with garbage/recycling storage, wall conditions, and pests.

While the property has passed rodent inspections in 2022 and 2025, the presence of multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests suggests continued attention to building maintenance is needed. The building's historical records show the property has been required to file annual bedbug reports since at least 2021, and in 2024, additional violations were noted regarding the need for maintaining proper garbage/recycling storage conditions. Despite multiple HPD inspections throughout 2025, some issues appear to remain unresolved, as evidenced by the open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements.
