764 East 213th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

764 East 213th Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Williamsbridge, built in 1912 and currently owned by Yonatan Bahumi. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between March and June of that year, some resulting in HPD violations. These complaints indicate significant and persistent problems with building-wide heating and hot water systems.

The building currently has multiple open housing maintenance code violations from 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1RR, including issues with rodent infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, peeling paint, and problems with window hardware. A notable recent development is an active Environmental Control Board violation (since July 2023) regarding an unauthorized cellar apartment, which is alleged to have been converted into an illegal Class A apartment with inadequate light and ventilation. The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of rodent control failures between 2018 and 2024, though it passed a compliance inspection in March 2024. The property has a documented history of pest control management, with bedbug reports showing no infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2022-2025.

While the building's heating system received attention throughout 2025, the frequency of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's basic infrastructure is showing age-related issues, as evidenced by multiple violation types including water damage, pest infestations, and heating system problems. The presence of both major (heating system) and minor (window, paint, and pest) maintenance issues suggests a pattern of building management challenges, though some recent inspections indicate attempted compliance with housing codes. All these factors combined paint a picture of a historically problematic but currently somewhat stabilized building, with particular attention needed to the heating system and code violations affecting unit 1RR.
