724 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 4-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building at 724 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Alverine Roberts, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems in recent years, most notably in late November 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed over a short period. This pattern of heating system problems is consistent, with similar complaints documented in February 2024, December 2022, November 2022, and prior instances in 2019, suggesting an ongoing challenge with building systems.

The property has also accumulated four active violations with the Department of Buildings as of June 2023, related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020, as well as a boiler inspection report from 2017. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, with successful outcomes in 2022 and 2018, there were failures noted in 2014-2015 that resulted in bait application.

The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with the most recent report from April 2024 indicating no active infestations during the 2022-2023 reporting period. Various building safety violations have been addressed over the years, including a 2024 violation for a defective self-closing door on the 4th story, though most historical violations appear to have been resolved. The frequency of heating-related complaints and the outstanding DOB violations regarding inspection report filings are particularly notable issues requiring continued monitoring.
