1037 East 216th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 1037 East 216th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Janet Singh, has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2019 and 2021, though some of these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. The building experienced significant electrical problems in November 2021, resulting in both emergency and subsequently issued violations for the electrical service to fixtures and outlets in the second-floor apartment.

Throughout 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding interior conditions, including reports of pest infestations, plumbing issues, and problems with paint/plaster work, though not all could be inspected due to access issues. The building's maintenance history also reveals structural and safety concerns, particularly in March 2019 when violations were documented regarding fire egress, window bars, door locks, and a reported mice infestation in the second-floor apartment. In mid-2019, there was an investigation into potential illegal conversion of the space, resulting in a partial vacate order and subsequent Environmental Control Board violations.

These violations included operating as an unauthorized multiple dwelling and performing work without the proper permits, though some related penalties appear to have been resolved. More recent records show the building has maintained bedbug-free status as of 2024, and while there were multiple rodent inspection failures between 2015-2017, these issues appear to have been addressed, with no recent violations in this category. The property has also received three consecutive "Annual Bedbug Report" violations from 2021-2024, indicating non-compliance with reporting requirements, though the most recent report shows no current infestations.
