762 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

This two-story, three-unit residential building at 762 East 217th Street in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, currently owned by Jorge Contes, has been in operation since 1925 and has undergone a class conversion to Class A status.

The property has experienced recurring issues with compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with four consecutive open violations documented between April 2021 and April 2024, all specifically related to the failure to file the necessary annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation Department (HPD). While the building has maintained satisfactory rodent inspection results in both August and September 2022, there was one reported incident in September 2022 involving an unsanitary animal complaint (regarding a cat), which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene but resulted in no violations being found.

The building's most significant ongoing compliance issue appears to be the repeated failure to file the required bedbug reports, which represents a pattern of non-compliance over multiple years. While the property has successfully passed recent rodent inspections and the DOHMH investigation into the animal complaint did not result in any violations, the open bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2024 suggest a continued failure to meet this specific housing maintenance requirement.
