1183 East 213th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 1183 East 213th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Javier Monroy, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2005, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. The most recent complaints in 2024-2025 involve heat/hot water problems, with previous similar issues documented throughout 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Other notable maintenance concerns include plumbing issues (sink, bathtub/shower, and toilet problems were reported between 2022-2024), a power outage in late 2022, and pest management challenges.

The building underwent a rodent infestation issue in multiple units recently, with violations recorded in December 2023 for apartments 3F and 3R, and a previous infestation of roaches and mice documented in 2021. However, regular bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no bedbug infestations in the building during this period. The property has been proactive in addressing violations when they occur, as shown by the timely certification of corrections, though some complaints have been closed due to lack of access for inspections.

Recent inspections in December 2023 identified several maintenance issues requiring attention, including defective intercommunication systems and leaky faucets in Apartment 3R, while also documenting infestation issues in Apartments 3R and 3F. Notably, the building's infrastructure appears to pass initial rodent inspections conducted in 2018, 2019, and 2022, suggesting some level of effective pest management. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and plumbing systems, the absence of reported bedbug infestations in recent years and the building's generally timely response to violations indicate that management is addressing most significant issues as they arise.
