1010 East 211th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family house at 1010 East 211th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Michael Hanchard, has experienced recurring heating and power issues over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint that went unresolved due to lack of apartment access for inspection.

This follows a power outage and another heat/hot water complaint in July 2022, where similar access issues hampered investigation. The building faced multiple heat/hot water complaints in October-November 2018, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though some were resolved upon inspection confirmation of restored services. More concerning are recent Department of Buildings (DOB) issues regarding improper drainage/water retention that began in January 2023 and continued through 2024, with the most recent complaint in March 2024 resulting in an ECB violation.

This violation noted that hoses connected to a sump pump were improperly discharging water onto public walkways, leading to a penalty of $1,562. While the building passed a rodent inspection in February 2019, the ongoing infrastructure issues suggest maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety. The property is a two-story, two-family house built in 1945, which has demonstrated particular vulnerability to heating system failures, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints over recent years.
