725 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story residential building at 725 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Harold Mc Donald, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most notably, in September 2022, the building faced problems with mold that were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints. This incident not only affected the building's habitability but also led to subsequent health and safety concerns.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, there were recurring requirements for the owner to file annual bedbug reports, with violations noted in March 2022, April 2021, and one violation in March 2023 that appears to have been addressed by 2024. The building has also had specific maintenance issues including a leaky water closet flush pipe connection in Apartment 1 on the first story in September 2022, and the need to replace or repair defective self-closing doors at the building entrance as noted in a February 2024 violation. The property's compliance history shows a generally responsive management approach, with most violations being addressed and closed in a timely manner.

A rodent inspection conducted in August 2022 resulted in a "Passed" status, indicating no immediate concerns with rodent activity at that time. While a complaint about illegal conversion was filed in December 2021, an inspection in January 2022 found no violations warranting further action. The building's relatively recent construction date (2005) contrasts with its existing maintenance challenges, which appear to have emerged primarily during the 2021-2024 period, spanning both systemic issues (like bedbug reporting compliance) and specific maintenance problems (such as the mold incident and door repairs). The most recent bedbug reporting filing in January 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infestations, suggesting successful management of this particular concern as of early 2024.
