804 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-unit residential building at 804 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Terrence Bishop and constructed in 2006, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with the New York City Housing Maintenance Code regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 - all of which remain open as of April 2024.

The building has also faced rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024 showing consistent application of bait, though particularly concerning findings of rat activity were documented in August and October 2022. The property has had documented heating issues, with a complaint filed in January 2021 regarding lack of heat or hot water in an apartment, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to verify the problem.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as illustrated by the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 continuing the pattern of active management through bait applications. While no new major complaints or violations have been recorded in recent months, the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations and rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
