945 East 211th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit building at 945 East 211th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by A. Baskett and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, particularly in early 2019. During February 2019, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, water supply problems, plumbing defects, and cooking gas concerns. While these issues were officially closed, many complaints were marked as duplicates of other tenant reports and some required follow-up inspections that could not be performed due to access issues.

The building has also undergone significant safety and maintenance inspections, with violations recorded in 2018-2019 including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detector issues, and problems with self-closing doors in the third-floor apartment. Several housing maintenance code violations were documented, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment's safety systems, though most of these were certified as corrected by February 2019. More recent records indicate improved maintenance practices, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2024. The building's most recent bedbug report (March 2024) and previous filings from 2022-2023 show zero infested units.

A 2023 Department of Buildings complaint regarding zoning was investigated and found to have no violation warrant. A rodent inspection conducted in February 2019 resulted in a passing score. However, there remains one open violation from 2019 regarding a defective building entrance door lock that has not been certified as corrected. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with no instances of infestation or reinfestation recorded in recent years.
