961 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466
The three-unit building at 961 East 224th Street in Wakefield, owned by Lytton Giscombe, was constructed in 1925 and has recently experienced numerous maintenance issues. Most notably, the property has multiple open violations from September 2024 related to inadequate waste receptacles and accumulated refuse in the south yard, along with a pending violation regarding annual bedbug reporting.
Previous violations from May 2023 in the first-floor apartment (1F) included pest infestations (mice and roaches), lead paint concerns, and safety issues with peeling paint and smoke detectors, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021, with penalties totaling $7,500 related to building maintenance and failure to comply with orders. Recent inspection attempts in 2025 (from May 31) revealed access issues for HPD inspectors regarding various complaints, including problems with appliances (electric range and refrigerator), flooring, wall plaster, and both garbage storage and pest-related concerns.
The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple failed inspections between 2021 and 2023. The building's maintenance history also shows a pattern of appliance-related complaints, particularly regarding the electric/gas range, with multiple service requests in 2025. On the positive side, there have been several permits issued for the property in recent years (2019 and 2020), suggesting some ongoing maintenance or improvement work, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records.
