1016 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 1016 East 224th Street in Wakefield, currently owned by Colleen Mcentee, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2025. The property has documented multiple instances of heat and hot water problems, including an emergency complaint in January 2025. In early 2024, significant issues were reported simultaneously, including mold, heat/hot water problems, and a power outage, though no violations were issued upon inspection.

A cluster of serious maintenance problems was documented in July 2022, including violations related to water leaks, plumbing issues, mold, and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor. The building has also faced documented pest problems, with violations for both mouse and roach infestations. The property history reveals several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2022, including issues with water leaks, mold, and pest infestations.

Two significant environmental control board violations from 2021 remain active, concerning failure to comply with correction orders and illegal parking/storage of vehicles on the property, each carrying a penalty of $6,250. The Department of Buildings records show complaints about illegal conversion, after-hours work, and zoning violations between 2021 and 2023, though inspections often resulted in no violations being found or inspectors being unable to gain access. While some complaints have been resolved through repairs or inspections, the persistence of these issues, particularly related to water and heat systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
