The two-family house at 779 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Moses Akutey, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. The property, built in 1915 and consisting of two stories with three units, has documented multiple heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints filed in October 2018, February 2019, and January 2020.

There were also serious pest problems, including rodent and roach infestations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F), which has open violations as of 2023. The building has experienced various other maintenance issues, including safety concerns with broken window guards (December 2018), unsanitary conditions involving mold (October 2018), and problems with ceiling paint and plaster (October 2018), all of which resulted in violations. The property has undergone inspections revealing multiple outstanding violations, including issues with water leaks affecting the public hall and kitchen areas, broken window sashes, and problems with carbon monoxide detectors in the second-floor apartment (2).

Building systems have been a recurring problem, with multiple complaints about heating and hot water issues, suggesting potential systemic infrastructure challenges. While a rodent inspection in November 2018 was passed, the building's maintenance history shows an ongoing struggle with various building systems and pest control, with several violations remaining open as of the most recent data. While an illegal conversion complaint from November 2018 was investigated and found no violations, the building's overall maintenance record has been marked by recurring issues, particularly during the 2018-2020 period, with some problems persisting into 2023.
