1041 East 223rd Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit building at 1041 East 223rd Street in Wakefield, owned by Israel Ortiz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021 that warrant attention. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was reportedly resolved. The building has documented persistent water-related problems, with two separate heavy flow water leak complaints recorded in September 2021, and another heavy flow leak complaint in February 2022.

The property has also faced challenges with sanitation, including an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage in September 2021, which resulted in violations, as well as mold issues during the same period. Multiple violations remain open as of the latest data, including water leak issues in Apartment 1's bathroom and pest control concerns, specifically an open violation regarding a cockroach infestation in Apartment 1 from September 2021. The building's record shows an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to submit these reports, though the most recent filings for 2023-2025 indicate no infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases.

The property has a mixed inspection history, with some building-related complaints in 2020 regarding work without permits, though inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building has been issued several permits in 2020 for various types of work, the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available records. The rodent inspection history from 2011-2012 shows mixed results, with some failed inspections requiring attention to rodent control measures.
