850 East 218th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

850 East 218th Street is a two-story, 4-unit residential building located in the Williamsbridge neighborhood, owned by Aaron Cox and built in 1928. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past five years, with the most significant concerns being an unaddressed heat/hot water problem and electrical outage reported in May 2022, though no violations were issued following the electrical inspection.

The property currently has open violations from 2022 through 2024 pertaining to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. The building has a history of maintenance issues documented in 2020, including multiple violations related to structural and safety concerns in common areas and Apartment 1, such as defective plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and fire retardant material repairs.

Specific issues included repairs needed for ceilings and walls in public areas on both the first and second stories, as well as a broken marble saddle replacement requirement at the entrance of Apartment 1. A rodent inspection conducted in September 2022 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no current rodent issues. While some violations from 2020 were resolved by April 2020, the persistent bedbug report violation suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, though there is no direct indication of a current bedbug infestation as of the latest data.
