816 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, two-family house at 816 East 225th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Mouctar Diallo, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most notably, there were multiple complaints and violations related to pest infestations, including documented issues with both rodents and roaches in Apartment 1B during late 2018.

The property has been the subject of multiple investigations regarding illegal apartment conversions, with records from late 2018 through 2019 showing both emergency and non-emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including unsanitary conditions and unauthorized living spaces with violations related to heating and hot water systems. Department of Buildings inspections in late 2018 through early 2019 confirmed concerns about unauthorized occupancy, with specific violations noted for improper use of storage and garage spaces on the first floor. More recent records indicate some improvement in rodent control, with inspections in 2022 showing passing results, though a 2022 Department of Health inspection for rodent signs also resulted in a passing grade.

However, there are still some outstanding issues, including an open violation from 2019 regarding failure to comply with commissioner orders related to occupancy and certificate of correction filings. The property has undergone multiple inspections and issued violations, with several full inspections resulting in violation citations that required corrections. Environmental Control Board records from 2019 show multiple violations regarding occupancy non-compliance, with penalties associated with these violations, though many of these issues have been resolved or have no balance due recorded.
