Augrented Insights Report for 253 East 202nd Street

The 6-story, 101-unit building at 253 East 202nd Street in Norwood, constructed in 1965 and currently owned by Ernesto Rodriguez, is experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues as of July 2025. Recent inspections from June 2025 revealed rodent activity, mold issues, and problems with window frames, while several plumbing complaints regarding bathtub/shower problems remain open from May 2025. The building has an active facade safety inspection (LL11/98) and single elevator device complaints dating from 2024, with a history of elevator service reliability concerns between 2020 and 2024.

A December 2024 facade inspection identified multiple violations requiring remediation, including issues with exterior walls, window lintels, and drainage systems. Apartment 2F received several violations in January 2025 for various maintenance issues including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and plumbing fixtures, while apartment 6C had a violation for door maintenance. The property has shown persistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 confirming the presence of rats. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, and the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

The building's management has faced penalties for various violations, including recent Environmental Control Board fines related to parking structure inspection requirements, and there are active violations regarding FISP Cycle 9B reporting and energy efficiency compliance. Some complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, such as heat/hot water issues and plumbing problems, though several recent complaints remain open, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding the elevator system, facade maintenance, plumbing, and pest control. While some violations have been promptly addressed, the pattern of recurring complaints and active violations points to ongoing challenges in building maintenance and compliance.
