751 East 218th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, two-family house at 751 East 218th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Chester Uwoghiren, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2024. These recent complaints, which have been resolved though some required emergency response, include heat/hot water problems and pest infestations. A cluster of issues was documented in 2021-2022, including mold problems, water leaks, and ceiling maintenance needs, particularly affecting the first apartment.

The building received multiple violations in 2022 related to apartment 1, including problems with ventilation systems, carbon monoxide detectors, window sashes, bathroom conditions, and various structural elements, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by August 2022. Earlier maintenance history reveals consistent challenges with unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, affecting habitability. In 2021, there were violations related to ceiling repairs and water damage, while a 2021 inspection noted issues with a loose handrail in the public staircase.

More recently, a 2023 Department of Buildings complaint regarding permits could not be assessed due to access issues. Notably, a September 2022 rodent inspection yielded a passing result, suggesting some improvements in pest control. While many of the documented issues have been addressed through proper channels, the pattern of recurring problems, particularly regarding environmental controls (heat, water) and cleanliness, has been a persistent aspect of this property's maintenance history.
