1034 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-family house at 1034 East 224th Street in Wakefield, owned by Rachel Massimo, was built in 1930 and has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a pest-related unsanitary condition reported and confirmed by HPD inspections, resulting in violations that require correction. The property has had multiple heating and hot water-related issues, with emergency complaints filed in November and December 2024, though HPD inspections found no violations in one instance.

A concerning pattern of pest-related complaints has emerged, with similar issues reported in November and December 2024, also resulting in violations. Multiple non-violational complaints were made in November 2024 regarding various issues including plumbing, electrical systems, and appliance concerns, suggesting a range of maintenance challenges. The building's history includes four complaints about illegal conversions between 2021 and 2024, with inspectors repeatedly unable to gain access for verification, though one 2024 complaint was determined to have no violations.

There was also a complaint about an allegedly illegal curb cut/driveway situation in 2021, which resulted in a full stop work order being served. Despite multiple complaints and inspections over the years, many issues have gone unresolved or required multiple reporting attempts for proper inspection access, indicating potential accessibility challenges for inspections. The most recent set of violations in June 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at the property.
