687 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467
The property at 687 East 221st Street in Olinville, owned by Forrell Lennon, is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2002. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding plumbing (radiator problems), unsanitary conditions (mold), window frame issues, wall repairs, and electrical concerns (outlet/switch problems).
A notable pattern of heating system problems is documented, with an emergency heat/hot water complaint filed in December 2024, though this particular issue was reported as corrected after HPD's investigation. The building has maintained an ongoing compliance issue with bedbug reporting requirements, having received four consecutive class A violations from 2021 to 2024 for failing to submit the required annual bedbug reports to HPD. In terms of pest management, the property experienced rat activity in August 2021, though subsequent inspections in 2022 returned passed results, indicating successful remediation of the rodent issue.
The building's infrastructure has been the subject of various maintenance needs, including a 2024 complaint about a defective boiler, which was inspected and found to have no warranted violations. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code complaints and violations over the years, the most recent emergency repairs (April 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring. The building's permit history shows activity in September 2022, with an issued permit under job number 240333778.
