823 East 221st Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 823 East 221st Street in Williamsbridge, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by 823 East 221 Street LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system failures reported between 2018 and 2020, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

The building also faced safety concerns in recent years, including electrical wiring issues in 2022, window frame problems in 2021, and heavy water leak incidents in 2021, though access for proper inspections was not granted in some cases. A comprehensive inspection in July 2022 revealed several safety violations across multiple units, including defective self-closing doors, missing smoke detectors, and a cockroach infestation in Apartment 2R, though these violations were subsequently closed after certification. The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting schedule, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2020, including the most recent filing in July 2025.

Rodent inspections conducted between 2019-2022 indicate compliance failures for "Other Reasons" in both 2019 and 2022, and an inspection in November 2022 is listed as "Failed - Other Reasons." The building's most recent violation, recorded in April 2024, pertains to the filing of annual bedbug reports. Two plumbing permits were issued in 2019, and most recently, a plumbing permit was issued in July 2023. While the building's records show consistent monitoring and reporting requirements being met, the recurring issues with heating systems and safety compliance in various units suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
