752 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 3-unit residential building at 752 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Bubakari Barrie, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2023-2024, with the most pressing concerns involving water-related problems. The property has documented three separate water leak incidents between May and September 2024, including a slow leak and a heavy flow issue, with multiple corresponding HPD violations.

A concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions is evident, with two mold-related complaints filed in September 2024, one classified as an emergency. The building has also faced recurring heating and plumbing issues, including a heat/hot water complaint in July 2024 where HPD was unable to gain apartment access for inspection. Several inspections between December 2023 and September 2024 resulted in multiple violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2, which has open violations related to pest infestation (roaches), various maintenance issues including bathtub repair, kitchen tile repair, cabinet maintenance, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Structural and maintenance concerns have also been documented through multiple 311 complaints, including issues with paint/plaster on walls and flooring. While the building appears to have undergone rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022 with passing results, the recent history indicates ongoing challenges with water management and building maintenance that have resulted in multiple HPD violations and emergency complaints. The property was constructed in 2005 and is categorized as a Class A building.
