756 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit building at 756 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by 848 Vannest Ave Inc and constructed in 2005, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most pressing are the plumbing and water-related problems, with multiple reports of leaks including a heavy flow water leak documented as an emergency in April 2025, and previous water leak complaints from December 2024 that received no access for inspection. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, particularly in apartment 3, which has current violations for insect infestation as per the August 2024 inspection.

Additional maintenance issues include heating and hot water problems, with complaints in late 2024, and various plumbing and appliance concerns including issues with sinks and refrigerators, all of which have been closed without proper resolution verification due to lack of access for inspection. The building's violation history reveals infrastructure concerns, including a roof leak affecting apartment 3 and ventilation/heating system issues. Records show that the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods through July 2025.

Rodent inspections have generally shown good results, with recent passes in 2022 and 2018, though there was a failed inspection in 2015 for "Other Reasons." Recent smoke-free policy violations were noted in December 2024. The building has had multiple housing maintenance code violations issued between 2021 and 2024, including a 2024 violation regarding defective self-closing doors leading from the street to the public hall, though many of these violations have been subsequently closed. While the management has responded to most complaints, there have been multiple instances where inspectors could not gain access to perform necessary evaluations, particularly in relation to plumbing, appliance, and pest issues.
