847 East 220th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 847 East 220th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Joyce Wilson, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently in April and June 2025. The building, constructed in 1925, has undergone several maintenance challenges and violations in recent years. Notably, there was a significant cluster of heat and hot water complaints during December 2024, with multiple complaints requiring HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) inspections, though results showed no violations of housing laws in at least one instance.

Apartment 2 has been particularly problematic, with open violations as of December 2024 for a cockroach infestation, along with multiple other violations including mold, pest issues, and various maintenance concerns such as door problems and window issues documented between April and December 2024. The property has a concerning history of occupancy-related violations from 2018, including illegal basement modifications and occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy records, though these violations were marked as resolved. The building's owner received multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for various issues including emergency exit obstructions and chimney concerns, though most were resolved with various penalties.

While there have been bedbug reports filed for the property in 2023 and 2024, both indicated no affected units, and the building passed a rodent inspection in September 2022. The most recent open complaint as of April 2025 involves a door issue that remains unresolved according to the latest HPD records. Despite the building's age and history of violations, recent bedbug and rodent inspections show no current infestations, though ongoing heating system maintenance appears to be an ongoing challenge.
