850 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story residential building at 850 East 221st Street in Williamsbridge, owned by 850 Holdings LLC, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2023. Most recently, in August 2024, the building faced multiple urgent concerns including mold problems, water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and various paint/plaster deficiencies affecting ceilings and walls.

The building has also received several housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2 (regarding ceiling and wall paint) and Apartment 3 (concerning water leaks, door issues, window guards, and plaster repairs). An inspection in September 2024 confirmed these violations, though most were classified as "closed." The property has a mix of historical maintenance issues, including electrical problems and water leaks documented in 2023-2024, and a concerning pattern of paint and plaster deficiencies across multiple units. Safety-related concerns have also been noted, including fire safety violations and the need for carbon monoxide detector requirements to be properly posted.

While the building has maintained a pest-free record in recent bedbug inspections (2022-2024) and had a rodent inspection pass in September 2022, it failed two earlier inspections in 2021-2022. An illegal commercial use complaint from 2020 was closed due to inspector inability to gain access. The building's age (constructed in 2004) and relatively recent construction should generally preclude many of these issues, suggesting possible ongoing maintenance challenges.
