931 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 931 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Ogechi Trotman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025. Most notably, there were recent heating/hot water problems that resulted in violations being issued by HPD in April 2025, along with multiple plumbing-related complaints including toilet issues, various water leaks, and window problems that were categorized as emergencies.

Multiple inspection attempts for various issues in April 2025 could not be completed, including complaints about pest problems, mold, wall conditions, and more. The building also has open violations as of July 2025 related to safety signage requirements established in 2024, including the need to post information about gas leak procedures, building registration numbers, and heating system access information in the public hall on the first story. The property has an active ECB violation from September 2024 regarding an impervious concrete surface installation that does not meet zoning requirements, with a penalty of $500.

While the building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations (reporting zero cases from 2020 to 2024) and passed rodent inspections in 2021 and 2022, the recent concentration of unresolved maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges. Previous complaints from 2021 regarding drainage problems and work without permits were also noted in the building's history, though these were closed. The property, built in 2003, has undergone various maintenance inspections and typically receives timely follow-up inspections, with the HPD often finding that conditions do not violate housing laws, though recent heating issues resulted in open violations.
