789 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 789 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Paulin Lumaj, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2014. Most notably, there have been three separate incidents of heat and hot water system failures affecting the entire building: one in September 2020 that prompted multiple complaints and inspections, and a recent emergency complaint in November 2023, which was quickly resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being informed that services had been restored.

The building has also faced plumbing issues in September 2020, with two separate complaints about water supply problems, though inspections found no violations in one instance. The property has a documented history of construction-related issues, including a Stop Work Order issued in May 2019 regarding Withdrawal Superintendent of Construction for Job #220248907, though this was fully rescinded by August of the same year.

Fortunately, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports for the periods November 2023-October 2024 and November 2022-October 2023 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infestation cases. While the building has experienced recurring issues with its heating and plumbing systems, particularly during the 2020 period, more recent complaints suggest these systems are receiving timely attention when problems arise.
