682 East 220th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family house at 682 East 220th Street in Olinville, currently owned by Yizhaq Benshabat, has a mixed maintenance record since its construction in 1925. The building experienced two significant utility-related complaints in recent years: in January 2021 regarding heat and hot water issues, and in July 2019 concerning a slow water leak.

Unfortunately, both complaints could not be properly investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues, though the 2021 complaint was classified as an emergency. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022, with varying results.

The most recent inspection in November 2022 passed compliance, but prior inspections showed a pattern of failed results for various reasons, particularly between 2016 and 2018 when the building struggled to meet compliance standards. While the building passed its most recent rodent inspection, the historical pattern of failures combined with the utility-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building appears to have had consistent documentation of inspections, with varying degrees of compliance, and while some issues have been addressed, the repeated instances of both utility problems and rodent-related compliance concerns indicate these have been recurring challenges for the property.
