1058 East 225th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 1058 East 225th Street in Wakefield, owned by Yvonne Merchant and constructed in 1963, has experienced recurring heating and water service issues over recent years. Most notably, there were three documented instances of heat or hot water complaints between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent occurring in December 2024. The building has also faced periodic maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak reported in April 2019, pest issues in August 2023, and door problems in August 2023.

While some of these issues were resolved promptly, as evidenced by HPD inspection follow-ups, the pattern of heating system complaints raises ongoing concern about infrastructure reliability. The building has encountered various code compliance matters, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were recorded regarding safety notices and building management requirements. These included the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and various other safety-related notices.

However, in recent years, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all five annual Bedbug Reporting filings (2021-2025) indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent infrastructure-related emergency involves a ceiling paint/plaster issue identified in June 2025, though no violations were recorded from recent inspections. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests a building that experiences recurring maintenance challenges, particularly with its heating system, while showing improvement in bedbug management and safety compliance over the past few years.
