214 St Anns Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

This 9-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 214 St. Ann's Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Arthur Gabriel and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant being heating and hot water system problems.

The building had emergency heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 (apartments only) and January 2022 (entire building), with the 2022 incident resulting in Class C violations for inadequate hot water in Apartment 5 and locked access to the heating system. Other notable maintenance concerns included safety violations for broken/missing window guards in 2019, multiple violations in 2021 affecting Apartment 1 (including issues with carbon monoxide detection, smoke detection, bathroom fixtures, and a water leak), and the need for ceiling paint/plaster repairs. The building has maintained a proactive approach to pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting showing minimal infestation history - only one unit reported an infestation in 2017-2018, with successful eradication.

Recent inspections (2023) have shown the building passing rodent inspections, and while there were some violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020-2021, these were subsequently dismissed. The building's management has generally addressed identified violations, as evidenced by their closed status, though some complaints have been marked as "unable to gain access" during inspections. The property has also undergone some recent improvements, as indicated by permit issuance in 2020, though specific details of the work performed were not provided in the available data.
