848 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-family residential building at 848 East 217th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Taramattie Haripersaud, has experienced several concerning incidents over the past few years, with particular attention needed on the period from September 2022 to January 2023. During this time, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding safety concerns, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as electrical wiring issues.

The building also faced heat and hot water problems in January 2023, affecting the entire structure. Four separate attempts to inspect the building during 2022-2023 for these violations were unsuccessful due to lack of access. The property has a consistent pattern of real estate compliance issues, with six documented complaints about possible illegal conversions or hotel room usage between 2020 and 2025, though all of these inspections were similarly marked as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt." More recently, the building submitted its bedbug reports for 2023-2025 showing no infested units during this period, maintaining a clean record since 2019 when the building reported zero infested, eradicated, and re-infested units across all previous years.

A rodent inspection in September 2022 also passed. The building has received four Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though records indicate these were subsequently closed. The persistent access issues during inspections, particularly around safety systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and the history of various conversion complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that may affect resident safety and comfort.
