The three-story residential building at 965 East 226th Street in Wakefield, owned by Cheryl Garvin, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past year and a half, with particular problems related to heat and hot water systems. The property has documented multiple heating system complaints between November 2024 and February 2025, including violations of the Housing Maintenance Code that require the property owner to address inadequate hot water supply issues.

Additionally, there have been concerning reports of pest infestations, specifically mice and roaches, affecting Apartment 4 on the third floor, along with violations related to gas supply to kitchen fixtures. The building's maintenance record shows several overdue violations from 2024, including issues with peeling paint in common areas and a locked basement heating system access violation. The building has a history of heating system problems, with multiple emergency service requests regarding heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025.

While the property has submitted bedbug reports indicating no infestation from 2019 through 2024, there were significant rodent control concerns, with a failed inspection in March 2020 and a compliant status achieved by June 2021. An earlier complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in March 2020 but was closed due to no access during the inspection. The building's infrastructure issues are evidenced by multiple emergency response calls for plumbing and heating problems, particularly between January and March 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges that require regular monitoring.
