827 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit building at 827 East 221st Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Maxwell Frost and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system complaints, with three separate incidents reported between February and December 2022, all of which were classified as emergencies and subsequently marked as closed after verification of corrections.

The building also experienced plumbing issues in December 2022, specifically related to water supply, for which repairs were verified and the complaint was closed. While a rodent-related complaint was filed in August 2021, a subsequent inspection passed without violations, and the building has passed rodent inspections in both 2021 and 2022. Of particular concern are four open violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement under the Housing Maintenance Code, spanning from 2021 through 2024.

These violations, classified as Class A, indicate a failure to file the mandatory bedbug reports as required by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The building's most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 show these violations remain unresolved. While the building has demonstrated responsiveness to heating, hot water, and plumbing issues as evidenced by closed complaints, the persistent nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests an ongoing administrative compliance issue that has not been addressed over multiple years.
