738 East 211th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

738 East 211th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building in Williamsbridge, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Noel Blake. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with the most recent being an indoor air quality complaint regarding ventilation in October 2023, which resulted in a notice to the owner. The building has had recurring problems with heating and air quality, including a 2018 mold issue that resulted in violations, and a 2018 heating complaint that could not be inspected due to access issues.

Multiple safety violations were documented in late 2018, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as rodent infestations. The building's maintenance record shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2022 to present, with no reported infestations or reinfestations. Significant infrastructure concerns include repeated violations regarding unmetered electricity use, with a 2022 citation for multiple apartments sharing electrical meters despite regulations requiring individual metering, though this violation was resolved with no penalties.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections, showing mixed results between 2012 and 2022, with three failed inspections noted between 2014 and 2022. Multiple housing code violations remain open from 2018, including issues with public hall ceiling paint, fire retardant materials, and bathroom ceiling surfaces in the second-floor apartment. The building's recent history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and safety equipment, though recent bedbug and rodent inspections suggest some improvement in pest management.
