741 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

741 East 217th Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 2005 in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, and a similar incident in November 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's heating system.

In early 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues in Unit 2F, including pest infestation (roaches), plaster and paint conditions, and door/frame problems, though most of these violations were subsequently addressed. The building has also shown attention to fire safety concerns, with open violations as of September 2023 related to self-closing doors in the sprinkler control room and electrical closet, as well as issues with fire retardant material in the first-story public hall. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past four years, and passed a rodent inspection in September 2022, though earlier inspections in 2010 had resulted in failures for "Other Reasons." The building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly with self-closing doors and heating systems, which have required multiple complaints and inspections.

While many of the cited violations have been addressed and closed, several remain open as of 2023-2024, indicating some ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's bedbug and rodent control records show effective management of these particular pest issues, with no infestations reported in recent years. The recent concentration of heating system complaints in 2025, following a similar pattern in 2023, suggests this remains a recurring issue requiring attention.
