916 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The property at 916 East 223rd Street in Wakefield is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Emmanuel Nwankwo. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, windows, and pest control, particularly evident in 2024 with multiple 311 complaints regarding heat/hot water and window problems. Notably, two emergency heat/hot water complaints were filed in January and February 2024, along with similar issues in April 2024.

The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with violations issued in June 2024 for inadequate locks on the street-to-vestibule door. Earlier violations from 2023 indicated problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, particularly in Apartment 2, which also experienced multiple maintenance issues including pest infestations, plumbing problems, and window guard compliance issues. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations over the past two years.

In 2023, violations were documented for missing window guards, leaks in bathroom faucets, and defective locks in Apartment 2. A bedbug report filed in September 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated no active infestations during this reporting period. The building's most recent violation, issued in June 2024, related to door locks between the street and vestibule, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in July 2024. While many of the recent complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the recurring nature of heating system complaints and window issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
