874 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

874 East 224th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Wakefield, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Mustach Ali. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These emergency complaints were notable due to the essential nature of the services involved, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in each case. Additionally, there were complaints about cooking gas and rodent issues during this period, with the latter resulting in a DOHMH inspection that found no violations. More recent records show that the building has passed rodent inspections in 2021 and 2022, suggesting improvement in pest control measures.

The building has been cited for failing to file its annual bedbug report in 2021, 2022, and 2023, receiving Class A violations, though the most recent filing for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested units and no need for eradication measures. A vibration/structural stability complaint was made in May 2021, but inspectors found no violations at that time. While the building has had some concerning issues in the past, the most recent records indicate compliance with pest reporting requirements and passage of rodent inspections, though the heat and hot water access issues in 2021 remain a notable historical concern.
