1051 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-family, three-story building at 1051 East 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Lynise Seymour, has some concerning ongoing issues as of 2025. Most notably, there is a pattern of unaddressed bedbug reporting violations, with open Class A violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all citing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

In 2022, significant construction-related violations were documented, including an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation for unpermitted work involving approximately 30 feet of black iron fencing installed around a parking area, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed and remains due. This fencing project, described as approximately 5 feet high and covering an area of about 100' x 25', appears to extend beyond the building's approved parameters. Two additional complaints from late 2021 regarding construction issues were filed, one concerning work without a permit and another about construction contrary to approved plans, though the latter complaint could not be verified due to inspection access issues.

The building's documented history includes a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, with the most pressing current concerns relating to pest control reporting and unauthorized modifications to the property's exterior. The bedbug reporting violations are particularly noteworthy, given their potential impact on resident comfort, while the unauthorized fencing installation raises questions about the property's adherence to local building codes and established property boundaries. The building, constructed in 1935, has undergone various modifications over the years, resulting in both compliance challenges and safety concerns.
