959 East 212th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-story, three-unit building at 959 East 212th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Jordan Cohen, has experienced several concerning safety and maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in August 2024, the building received five separate complaints across various categories including fire escape safety, door functionality, lighting issues, garbage storage, and missing signage, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While no violations were found for these specific complaints, the building currently has eight open violations from August 2024 related to emergency safety requirements, including the need to properly post carbon monoxide detector information, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information. There is also one open Class C violation regarding access to the building's heating system, and two violations from April 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports.

The building's inspection history shows that while it has passed rodent inspections in 2019 and 2022, there are several unresolved safety notification and maintenance requirements that need attention. The property, constructed in 2002, is classified as a HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A building and has been subject to various HPD regulations concerning building safety and maintenance standards. While recent service requests and violations demonstrate ongoing maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that many of these issues relate to administrative requirements (such as posting the correct signs) rather than immediate safety concerns.
