739 East 220th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 739 East 220th Street property is a three-story, two-family house located in Williamsbridge, owned by Hadas Hakmon, and built in 1920. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently documented in November 2023 as an emergency complaint affecting the entire building, though this was resolved quickly within three days. Safety concerns have also been noted, including a broken window guard reported in July 2023, which was investigated with no violations issued.

Between 2020-2021, the property faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints, particularly concerning water drainage issues, with two similar complaints filed in June 2021. The building underwent significant construction work between 2019-2021, which raised several concerns about safety and compliance - including active violations related to building walls and appurtenances in 2020, with penalties totaling over $17,000. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with three consecutive years (2020-2022) reporting zero bedbug infestations.

However, rodent inspections reveal a pattern of non-compliance in the 2010s, with multiple failures noted in 2010 and 2014, though more recent inspections show passing results in 2016 and 2022. A series of construction-related complaints from late 2020 through early 2021 raised multiple safety concerns, including questions about proper permits and construction practices, most of which were ultimately either resolved or dismissed, though some violations related to building walls and sidings remain active. The property has had periodic permit activity, with several construction-related permits being issued between 2018 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement work.
