687 East 219th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 687 East 219th Street in Olinville, owned by Taobo Zheng and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report with HPD, marking a departure from the building's previous clean record regarding bedbug reporting.

Prior to this, the building had a series of bedbug reporting violations, including a similar citation in 2021, though subsequent filings between 2021 and 2022 consistently showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The building had two significant safety-related violations in January 2020, both classified as Class C, regarding non-self-closing doors: one at the main building entrance and another at the boiler room entrance on the first story.

These violations were promptly addressed and certified as corrected by the end of January 2020. On a positive note, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in October 2022, indicating compliance with pest control standards. The property's overall violation history shows a pattern of bedbug report non-compliance, which has been the most recurring issue, though recent filings through 2022 indicated no infestations, while also noting rodent control compliance.
