716 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467
The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 716 East 217th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Shaya Seidenfeld, has experienced several maintenance issues and violations over recent years. Most notably, in June 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues), pest infestations, and intercom system failures, with violations issued for the plumbing and pest control issues.
The building also has an active ECB violation from August 2024 regarding an unpermitted enclosed gooseneck ship ladder connecting the roof to the 2nd floor fire escape balcony, with a penalty of $6,250.00 that remains unpaid, along with a related violation from January 2024 concerning unpermitted work. Earlier maintenance concerns included multiple pest control issues, particularly rodent activity, as evidenced by inspection results from 2013-2022 showing several "Failed for Other Reasons" citations.
Between September and October 2024, multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued and subsequently closed, including problems with self-closing doors, bedbug notification requirements, waste material collection signage, and entrance door maintenance. The building's historical records also show compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, indicating no documented infestations during these periods. While the property has demonstrated some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by multiple permits issued for various maintenance and repair work between 2018-2020, significant outstanding issues remain, particularly regarding the gooseneck ladder violation and recent plumbing and pest control violations.
