813 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit residential building at 813 East 225th Street in Wakefield, owned by Alex Babayev, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently evidenced by a March 2025 HPD complaint that resulted in violations being issued. This pattern of heating system problems stretches back to 2018, during which multiple heat and hot water-related complaints were filed, though inspec tors were often unable to gain access to the affected units. Between 2018 and 2019, the building faced several emergency complaints regarding cooking gas and plumbing issues, including water supply problems.

The property has maintained an active history of violations requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with ongoing violations noted from 2021 through 2024. In 2019, significant concerns were raised about the building's occupancy status, including illegal conversions and unpermitted alterations, particularly regarding a garage space converted into living quarters. Multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2019 for various infractions, including failure to comply with commissioners' orders and issues with garbage accumulation, though some of these were resolved with penalties totaling $10,000.

The building's rodent inspection history shows multiple failures in 2018-2019, with recent inspections in 2022 passing compliance checks. The most recent complaints as of March 2025 also include an open complaint regarding an electric/gas range appliance issue. The building's documented history indicates regular concerns about fundamental systems like heat, water, and gas, particularly during the 2018-2019 period, and compliance issues regarding occupancy and bedbug reporting that persist into recent years. The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple violations, though some were ultimately dismissed or resolved through compliance.
