250 East 204th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, two-family home at 250 East 204th Street in Norwood, owned by Shiming Lin, has been standing since 1931 and has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance with building regulations. The most pressing current issue is an active violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which follows a similar violation from April 2023 concerning the 2022 inspection.

These unaddressed violations suggest ongoing oversight regarding the building's maintenance requirements. Two recent complaints are noteworthy: in September 2023, there was a complaint about construction work being done contrary to approved plans, though this was resolved without any violations being found upon inspection in October 2023; and in June 2023, there was a complaint regarding illegal or defective gas hook-up/piping, but the inspector was unable to gain access for inspection despite multiple attempts. On a positive note, the building has maintained an excellent track record in rodent inspections, passing these checks consistently from 2015 through July 2024, with no violations reported during this entire period.

This indicates proper building maintenance in terms of pest control and sanitation. While the building has generally passed inspections in other areas as well, the two recent violations for not filing mandatory inspections and the complaints regarding construction and gas piping suggest some areas of concern regarding compliance with current safety regulations. However, it's worth noting that rodent inspections have continued to show consistent adherence to maintenance standards.
