255 East 201st Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, two-unit building at 255 East 201st Street in Norwood, owned by Qazim Deoushi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues documented in late 2020 and early 2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with at least one incident classified as an emergency.

In 2021, there were plumbing and appliance problems (specifically with a bathtub/shower and electric/gas range) that could not be inspected due to access issues. The building currently has three open Class A violations related to failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2022, 2023, and 2024. The property has undergone various exterior maintenance work, including addressing masonry beam issues and rust removal/painting requirements in 2021, which were properly certified as completed.

There were also some historical issues with illegal curb cuts/driveway modifications in 2019 that resulted in Environmental Control Board violations and monetary penalties, though these appear to have been addressed. Recent inspections show an improvement in pest management, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2024 passing, following previous rat activity indicators in 2023. The building's age (built in 1925) and history of maintenance issues warrant attention, though recent records indicate some progress in addressing these concerns, particularly with exterior maintenance and pest control compliance.
