754 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 754 East 221st Street in Williamsbridge, currently owned by George Manning and converted to Class A status, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, between September 2024 and November 2024, multiple violations were documented in the property, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2).

These included concerning conditions such as rodent infestations (mice and cockroaches) and various maintenance issues, such as broken window frames, a defective light switch, and missing window guards. A recent emergency water leak complaint from November 2024 was also recorded, along with issues related to paint/plaster damage on walls and window frames. The building's inspection history reveals several violations of housing maintenance codes, with some still listed as open as of October 2023.

These include requirements related to carbon monoxide detector notices, window security, and proper maintenance of the heating system notice. While previous bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no infestations in the building, the property has had rodent activity noted in 2022, and pest-related complaints have been a recurring theme in recent years. Despite numerous complaints and subsequent HPD inspections throughout 2024-2025, many issues remain unresolved, particularly those affecting Apartment 2, including concerns about wood paneling modifications requiring legalization and persistent unsanitary conditions affecting resident quality of life.
