216 St Anns Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454

The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 216 St Anns Avenue in Mott Haven, owned by Juan Alcaide, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably in recent inspections. In March 2025, multiple complaints were investigated, resulting in violations related to an intercom system, while no violations were found for issues including water leaks, flooring concerns, and ceiling problems.

Previous significant incidents include a notable cluster of violations in October 2023, primarily affecting apartment 4N, including issues with ceiling mold, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and multiple safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has faced heat and hot water issues in January 2024, affecting both specific apartments and building-wide systems.

The property has two active Department of Buildings violations from March 2020 regarding unfiled high-pressure boiler inspections. However, there have been consistent efforts to manage pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last six annual filings (2019-2024), and recent rodent inspections (most recent in June 2023) show compliance with requirements, having passed inspections following historical issues with rat activity noted in 2010. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to monitor the status of the 2020 boiler inspection violations and any ongoing compliance with the 2023 intercom system violations.
