731 East 215th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

731 East 215th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Donna Mullings. The property has experienced several significant issues over recent years, most notably in 2020 when multiple urgent complaints were filed and subsequently resolved on April 9th, including concerns about pest infestations, safety systems (sprinklers and smoke detectors), electrical lighting, carbon monoxide detectors, and various apartment conditions.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as indicated by open violations from 2019 through 2024, and a concerning cluster of violations in July 2019 related to apartment 1, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, infestation issues, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, and various safety concerns. The building's recent history includes a structure-related violation as of June 2025, connected to damage from a fire at the adjacent property (729 East 215th Street) affecting the skylight, roof door, and hallway sheetrock.

The Department of Buildings had multiple complaints regarding potential illegal uses and occupancy matters in late 2019 and 2020, though access was denied during inspection attempts. All these complaints were eventually marked as closed, with one showing no violations upon inspection. While rodent inspections from 2010 through 2022 generally indicate proper maintenance (with one failed inspection in 2010), the building's pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and general upkeep.
