869 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 869 East 217th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Marie Angeli and constructed in 2003, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly during January 2024. During this period alone, the building had multiple heat and hot water complaints (seven in total), several electrical problems (including power outages and no lighting), water leaks, and issues with pests including mold and unsanitary conditions. These complaints resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued.

More recently, in late 2024, the building has had three active Housing Maintenance Code violations, predominantly affecting apartment 3F, including problems with electrical service, pest infestations (specifically rodents), and various door-related issues. The building's infrastructure concerns extend beyond interior problems, as evidenced by two Department of Buildings violations from 2020 and 2023 regarding unfiled boiler inspection reports. Rodent inspections show a pattern of compliance failures in 2023 and 2024, though previous years generally showed passing results.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings (from 2022 to 2025) reporting zero infected units. The property has experienced recurring issues with self-closing doors throughout the building, as evidenced by multiple violations and work orders. While some violations have been addressed and closed, several remain open as of the latest inspection records.
