916 East 226th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-unit, two-story building at 916 East 226th Street in Wakefield, owned by Latisha Crite, has been through several significant incidents in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating infrastructure. In January 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with one complaint requiring emergency intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While some issues were resolved promptly, one complaint from January 2023 regarding heating problems in the entire building was closed without inspection due to HPD's inability to gain access. The building's violation history shows a particularly noteworthy pattern of bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent open violation from April 2024 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations.

However, according to the bedbug reports filed for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, there were no documented infestations, eradications, or re-infestations during the reporting periods, suggesting the building did not experience any actual bedbug issues despite the reporting violations. The property has a consistent record of annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, with previous violations from 2021 and 2022 indicating a similar pattern of non-compliance. While heating issues have been a significant concern, the building's current bedbug status appears to be clear based on recent reporting, though the open violation for late reporting suggests administrative oversights by management.
