1184 East 214th Street, Bronx, NY 10469

The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 1184 East 214th Street in Williamsbridge, owned by Javier Monroy and constructed in 2004, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. Between January and April 2025, the building received multiple complaints and violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), including unsanitary mold conditions, plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower, electrical problems with outlets, flooring concerns, and various door-related problems (both emergency and non-emergency).

Notable violations from late 2023 included issues in apartment 2F such as excessive hot water temperature, lifting vinyl floor tiles creating trip hazards, and multiple infrastructure problems including electrical, plumbing, and floor maintenance issues. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges requiring attention to various systems and infrastructure. While the property has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2023 and has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years (with the exception of one failed inspection in 2013), the frequency and variety of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance needs.

Specific areas requiring attention have included the building's heating/hot water systems (with multiple complaints), electrical systems, and various structural elements such as doors and flooring. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though some HPD inspections in early 2025 were unable to access the premises for examination. The property has accumulated multiple housing maintenance code violations over the past year, though most are now marked as closed.
