830 East 215th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 830 East 215th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Peggy Knight, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, particularly between 2018 and 2024. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in July 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and deteriorating ceiling paint, which led to the issuance of housing violations.

These conditions particularly affected the first-floor apartment, which was documented to have issues with both mice and roaches, as well as water leaks affecting the ceiling and north wall in one room. While these specific violations were certified as corrected by August 2018, they were part of a larger pattern of maintenance concerns. More recently, the building has shown persistent compliance issues, with open violations as of 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report for multiple consecutive years from 2021 through 2024.

The most recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with the building passing an initial inspection in September 2022 following previous failures in 2019, suggesting some improvement in pest management. Additional maintenance concerns were noted in 2018 regarding building entrance door issues and the need to remove encumbering household items from the first-story vestibule area. While some improvements have been made since the 2018 cluster of violations, the recurring bedbug report violation and historical pest issues indicate ongoing concerns about the building's maintenance and pest control practices.
