930 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 930 East 224th Street in Wakefield, owned by Godfred Darkwa and dating back to 1930, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are persistent open violations regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which could indicate ongoing pest management oversight.

In early 2019, there was a series of related complaints about unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of mold that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues, though there were later inspections in December 2019 that identified similar mold problems as emergencies. The building also had documented rodent issues, with a rat sighting complaint in January 2019 that resulted in an inspection which passed. The property has been subject to regular inspections regarding its bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with all violations remaining open as of the latest inspection dates.

While there was an HPD complaint regarding wall paint/plaster in January 2019, this was resolved without violations. Additionally, there was a complaint in January 2019 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building's overall history reflects ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding pest management and mold remediation procedures, though there have been no new complaints recorded since 2019.
