712 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 15-unit building at 712 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Jacob Landau, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaint occurring in May 2025. Between 2020 and 2021, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, some of which resulted in violations being issued, particularly affecting the basement apartment. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including pest infestations, particularly in late 2020 when violations were recorded for rodent issues in the basement apartment.

Multiple violations related to flooring conditions were documented in November 2020, and there were significant infrastructure concerns regarding plumbing systems around the same period. More recently, from 2023 onwards, there has been construction activity associated with the property that generated multiple complaints and violations, including issues with site safety, temporary shoring, and improper barriers. In August 2023, penalties were imposed for unauthorized demolition of the rear yard garage.

There were also numerous Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety between 2023 and 2024, with one violation specifically noting hazardous conditions due to unprotected sharp edges on a sidewalk shed. The building's heating system has been a persistent issue, with multiple complaints between 2020 and 2025, though some were resolved promptly. The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in recent years, with the 2024 bedbug report indicating no current infestations, though there were documented problems in previous years between 2018 and 2021. While many older violations and inspection requirements have been dismissed, the pattern of heating system issues and construction-related concerns suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and infrastructure systems.
