707 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, two-family house at 707 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, constructed in 1927 and owned by Moses Rabinovits, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2024, with six separate incidents affecting the entire building and two affecting individual apartments, all classified as emergencies.

Additionally, the building has persistent pest problems, with two separate inspections in 2024 confirming rodent infestations (including roaches and mice) in Apartment 3F, which has multiple open violations from November 2023 related to sanitation, including requirements to address broken flooring, water damage, and improper bathroom plumbing. The property is also facing significant regulatory challenges, with active violations regarding unauthorized modifications discovered in December 2023, involving improper conversion of garage space into residential units with associated electrical and plumbing work.

There are also multiple open violations related to the failure to conduct and file required low-pressure inspections for the building's systems from 2018 through 2023, and a boiler inspection violation from 2019 that remains unresolved. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2025), the building's history includes several failed rodent inspections between 2015 and 2022, though no such violations have been recorded in the past three years.
