711 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 61-unit, 8-story building at 711 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Jacob Brach and completed in 2024, has experienced significant infrastructure challenges in its first year of operation. Most notably, from April to June 2025, there were numerous reports of power outages, with at least seven documented electric complaints through 311 service requests and the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints system, including multiple instances classified as immediate emergencies.

The building also faced issues with heat and hot water systems, with complaints in April and May 2025 indicating inadequate heating and water supply, though inspectors were often unable to complete full inspections. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show several inspections in 2024, including one for construction compliance and another for after-hours work, though violations were not warranted in these cases.

Two violations related to inspection report filings were issued and later dismissed: one for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report (2019) and another for the 2023 external low-pressure inspection (2024). During the building's construction and early operation, three separate complaints were filed regarding sidewalk shed conditions, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's documented issues primarily revolve around electrical infrastructure stability and heating systems, with these problems emerging shortly after the building's completion and continuing into mid-2025.
