872 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, two-family house at 872 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Teddy Halstead and constructed in 1950, has experienced recurring issues with heating and electrical systems over the past several years. Most notably, there have been three separate emergency heat/hot water incidents reported in November 2021 and November 2022, with at least two of these cases requiring HPD intervention to verify corrections.

The building has also experienced recurring electrical issues, specifically with outlets and switches, in both 2021 and 2022, though these were classified as non-emergency situations. HPD inspections resulted in violations for one of the electrical complaints in November 2022, while other incidents were either closed due to corrections being made or because inspectors were unable to access the apartments for verification.

While the building has maintained compliance with many HPD inspections, the pattern of heating and electrical issues over multiple years suggests these systems may require ongoing attention. Most recent complaints have been addressed within one to three days of reporting, indicating relatively prompt response times to service requests.
