715 East 220th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 9-unit, 4-story residential building at 715 East 220th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Javier Monroy, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2008. The most concerning recent incidents involve heat and hot water problems, with two complaints documented in late 2023 and early 2025, including one emergency complaint that was inspected and resulted in violations.

The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges in the past year, including unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas, missing signage, and issues with electric/gas range appliances. A significant cluster of violations was documented in September 2024, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment (1F), including problems with walls and ceilings, waste lines in the bathroom, and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's safety features have required attention, with multiple violations related to door and latch maintenance in the public areas, particularly concerning self-closing doors and latch sets in the second-story public hall.

Various apartment maintenance issues have been documented over the past two years, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, wall surfaces requiring attention, and ventilation system concerns. While the building has maintained its bedbug-free status since late 2022, with all units reporting eradication of any previous infestations, it's worth noting that there was one reported incident of pest-related issues in late 2023. A rodent inspection conducted in September 2022 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no significant rodent problems at that time.
