800 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 3-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building at 800 East 224th Street in Wakefield, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jan Webster, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three heat and hot water-related complaints in the past four years, with the most recent occurring in July 2024 regarding apartment-specific issues, and a more serious building-wide incident in February 2021.

Other significant maintenance concerns include a broken/missing window guard reported in February 2023 (classified as an emergency) and an appliance issue with an electric/gas range in August 2023. The building has also accumulated two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2021. The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with multiple bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024 showing minimal infestation activity—only one unit was reported as infested in 2021, with all others showing zero infestation counts in subsequent years.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2022 passed without issue. Additionally, the building had one violation issued in 2021 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been addressed in subsequent years. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, most complaints have been investigated and closed without violations being issued.
