736 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467
The property at 736 East 221st Street in Williamsbridge is a two-story, three-unit residential building built in 1920, currently owned by Safiatou Samake. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past three years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023-2024. During this period, there were multiple reports of appliance malfunctions (including refrigerators and ranges), plumbing issues (toilets and bathtubs/showers), electrical problems (including power outages and lighting failures), and heat/hot water concerns.
While many of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations, some required emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has several active and recently resolved violations that warrant attention. As of April 2024, there are open Class C violations regarding building entrance doors and security systems, and an active ECB violation from 2024 for unauthorized bathroom modifications.
Previous concerning issues include evidence of water leaks, pest infestations, and security concerns. Notably, there are multiple ECB violations related to illegal conversion of the cellar area into additional living space, including unauthorized bathroom and kitchen installations, for which penalties totaling $10,000 and $12,500 have been imposed but remain unpaid. The cellar conversion issue was also the subject of a Partial Vacate Order in 2022. Recent inspections have shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past two cycles (2022-2023 and 2023-2024).
