841 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

This 3-story, 2-family house located at 841 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, built in 1950 and currently owned by Andrea Bellony, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years. Between September 2023 and January 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water concerns, with several complaints marked as emergencies. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded but often faced difficulties accessing units for inspection.

These complaints coincide with periodical violations related to heat and hot water systems, including an open Class C violation from 2024 regarding hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 1. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024. There are multiple open violations from April 2024 affecting Apartment 1, including issues with water leaks, plaster damage, and a documented rodent infestation involving both mice and roaches. The property has seen other maintenance issues as well, including problems with appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator in 2023) and plumbing concerns involving a bathtub/shower issue in 2022.

A significant series of complaints in April 2024 addressed multiple non-emergency issues including unsanitary conditions with pests, water leaks, and problems requiring paint/plaster work. The most recent inspection and permit activity includes a permit issued in August 2023 for work classified as "EW," though the specific details of the work are not provided in the available data. While some violations have been resolved and closed, including a bathroom waste pipe issue and a mechanical vent problem in Apartment A in late 2022, several critical maintenance issues remain unresolved as of the most recent data available. The building's history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance, especially concerning the heating system and pest control, though the frequency of complaints has varied over the past few years.
