908 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 908 East 224th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Marvin Cooke, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues throughout 2024, with the most pressing being multiple heat and hot water outages between March-December 2024. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has faced recurring heating system problems, with emergency complaints filed for both entire building and individual apartment issues, though most were eventually closed after reported corrections.

A significant pest infestation was documented in April 2024, resulting in violations being issued, and multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of April 2024 for Apartment 1R. The unresolved violations in Apartment 1R present multiple health and safety concerns, including the presence of lead-based paint hazards, water leak issues, and rodent infestation problems.

Specific violations include defective plaster surfaces and paint issues in the bathroom, water leak repairs needed in the kitchen, electrical outlet repairs required in multiple locations, and the need to address peeling paint surfaces. While some complaints regarding heat and hot water issues have been resolved when reported, the pattern of service requests suggests ongoing concerns with building systems. A rodent inspection conducted in 2010 also resulted in a failed inspection for "Other Reasons," indicating historical pest management challenges.
