845 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 845 East 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Gjergj Lunaj, has exhibited several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2011. Most notably, there are recurring violations related to bedbug report filings, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024, though subsequent filings from May 2024 have shown no infested units.

These violations span multiple years (2021-2024), indicating ongoing challenges with compliance rather than actual infestations, as all recent bedbug reports show zero infested or eradicated units. The building experienced substantial issues in January 2018, when violations were documented in apartment 3 concerning both safety and habitability.

These included broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in the ceiling and walls throughout apartment 3 (Class B violation), inadequate electrical service to fixtures in the private hallway of apartment 3 (Class A violation), and a broken interior window pane in the fifth room from the north in apartment 3 (Class C violation). While most of these violations have been closed, the persistent nature of the bedbug report filing violations suggests ongoing monitoring requirements. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing an initial inspection in October 2022.
