The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 967 East 224th Street in Wakefield, owned by Joseph Balaj and constructed in 1930, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring water leak problems in 2025 (including violations issued in June 2025), along with multiple housing maintenance code violations relating to water, mold, and unsanitary conditions in early 2025.
The building has also been cited for various maintenance issues including plumbing problems (with violations in August 2024), ceiling and wall paint/plaster problems, and an April 2024 violation for an illegal deadbolt at the first-story rear fire door. The property has faced significant safety and maintenance concerns between 2018-2024, including multiple violations for failure to maintain building systems, such as the boiler (with active violations for failure to file external low pressure inspection reports from 2019-2024).
In October 2024, serious violations were issued regarding apartment 2B, including reports of cockroach infestation and defective smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. The building has a history of rodent inspections showing repeated failures between 2013-2018, though more recent bedbug filings from 2021-2024 indicate no infestations. While some violations have been resolved, including various ECB violations from 2018-2024, several active violations remain pending resolution, particularly regarding the building's boiler inspection requirements.
