776 East 213th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-unit residential building at 776 East 213th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Israel Yosipov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2001. The most concerning recent event occurred in July 2023, when a fire incident involving the wooden deck at the rear of the building resulted in an active structural violation, though no violations were issued following subsequent construction enforcement inspections in July 2023. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints in 2022, including emergency responses by HPD.

Further complicating the building's maintenance record, there was a period of significant pest issues in 2022, with multiple rodent sightings reported between 2020 and 2022, and violations cited for mouse and roach infestations in Apartment 3 during May 2022. The property also experienced heating and hot water system failures affecting the entire building in June 2022, along with various plumbing issues. The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns about sanitation and building systems, with multiple violations and complaints regarding garbage storage, electrical wiring, and mold conditions in Apartment 1.

While more recent inspections and bedbug reports from 2022 through mid-2025 indicate no current infestations or violations, the property has previously faced issues with building maintenance compliance, as evidenced by bedbug reporting requirements and annual inspections showing past violations. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted multiple inspections between 2020-2022, consistently finding evidence of rat activity, though subsequent inspections in 2018 passed without issues. While many historical violations have been closed, the building's recent history from 2023 to present shows improved compliance with pest control and maintenance requirements, with no new violations recorded in recent bedbug reports.
