812 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The six-unit, three-story tenement building at 812 East 226th Street in Wakefield, owned by Kevin Alter and constructed in 1930, has experienced ongoing heating and hot water system issues throughout the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between July 2024 and January 2025. The most recent cluster of complaints in January 2025 indicates persistent heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though HPD inspections have generally found these issues to be "corrected" or not in violation of housing laws.

The building received several violations in December 2024 related to heat system access and inadequate heating in specific apartments (notably 2F and 3R), as well as hot water temperature concerns in apartment 2F. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past five filing periods from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations or treatments required.

However, there have been some rodent control challenges, with failed inspections in February 2021 and May 2021, though a subsequent inspection in October 2022 resulted in a passing grade. Other building maintenance issues noted in 2024 included requirements for window repairs in apartment 3R and concerns about fire retardant materials in public hallways, though many of these violations were either closed or certified as corrected by August 2024.
