800 East 227th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, two-family house at 800 East 227th Street in Wakefield, owned by Maruf Ahmed and built in 1960, has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues over the past year and a half. Most notably, there has been a recurring pest problem, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints filed between November 2024 and February 2025, for which violations were issued and remain a concern as of March 2025.

The building has also faced various other maintenance issues, including plumbing problems affecting bathtubs/showers and sinks, electrical concerns involving outlets and a power outage, and some wall maintenance needs involving paint/plaster. The property has undergone multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in response to these complaints, with varying outcomes.

While some electrical and door-related complaints were investigated and found not to violate housing laws, other issues resulted in violations that required the owner to address the conditions. Of particular note is a complaint about an illegal conversion filed in March 2024, though this was investigated and determined to have no violation warranted at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining basic residential standards, particularly regarding pest control and plumbing systems, with multiple violations issued between November 2024 and February 2025.
