834 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

834 East 214th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, owned by PL 9 Properties LLC and constructed in 2009. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to plumbing and water systems. Most recently, there were emergency service requests in June 2025 for water supply and mold issues, following similar problems in December 2024 involving heat and hot water systems.

The building was the subject of multiple complaints in July 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests, and various paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, though access for inspection was not granted in these cases. A more serious situation occurred between September 2023 and October 2023, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations regarding a door frame, ventilation system, and ceiling in Apartment 1, with documented water leakage issues in the bathroom. Looking back through the building's history, there were significant violations recorded in 2019 for Apartment 3, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a reported rodent infestation, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2022 showed passing results.

The boiler system also faced inspection failures in early 2019 when inspectors were denied access. However, it's important to note that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building from 2018 to the present, and the most recent water-related issues appear to be the only recurring problem. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, including multiple emergency service requests for water supply problems, heavy flow leaks, and heat/hot water systems, suggesting ongoing challenges with the plumbing infrastructure. Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations across all reporting periods since 2019, and has passed rodent inspections in recent years.
