1223 East 224th Street, Bronx, NY 10466

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1223 East 224th Street in Edenwald, owned by Amarilis Alba, has experienced recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues from 2021 through 2024. The property, constructed in 2006, has received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, though these violations were subsequently closed.

A recent and notable development occurred in January 2024 when a Department of Buildings complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion was filed, though inspection access was denied on both attempts to investigate the complaint in June 2024. Despite the previous bedbug reporting violations, the most recent bedbug report filed on July 10, 2025, for the period of November 2023 to October 2024, indicates no current or past infestations, with the report showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

This suggests that while the building experienced bedbug reporting compliance issues in previous years, the situation has improved, with the most recent filing properly documenting the absence of infestations. The building's relatively recent construction date of 2006 is notable, as it places the property in the category of newer residential structures in the neighborhood, though the reported illegal conversion complaint raises some concern about potential unauthorized modifications to the building.
