839 East 217th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, 3-unit residential building at 839 East 217th Street in Williamsbridge, currently owned by TY SILVER COAST LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, the building faced multiple emergency situations including problems with heat and hot water affecting the entire building, plumbing/water supply issues, and a power outage, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued in some cases. The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns around basic services, with documentation showing violations in 2022 related to a defective self-closing door in Apartment 2 (Class C) and three separate instances of failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021-2023 (Class A), though all of these violations are now listed as closed.

Recent records show improvements in pest management, with the most recent bedbug report filing for 2024-2025 showing no infested units or pest-related issues. The property underwent rodent inspections in September 2022, which resulted in a passing grade. During 2024, multiple service requests were made regarding general building conditions including flooring, wall maintenance, and janitorial services, though in several cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for evaluation.

Despite the recent spate of heating, plumbing, and electrical issues, there is evidence of some regulatory compliance improvement, as seen in the current 2024-2025 bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases, representing a notable change from previous years when violations were recorded for failure to file reports. The building's age (constructed in 1920) combined with recent service requests and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and basic services. However, the current lack of reported pest issues and the closure of previous violations indicate some progress in building management and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
