227 East 204th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

227 East 204th Street is a three-story, two-family residential building built in 1931 and currently owned by Ron Cohen. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaint being about heat and hot water problems in March 2024, though inspectors were unable to access the apartments to verify the issue.

A cluster of complaints was filed in June 2022 regarding various maintenance concerns including door and window frames, wall conditions, plumbing issues, and flooring problems, though no violations were issued following the inspections. The building had significant violations in 2018 related to a missing skylight and unauthorized alterations to ventilation equipment in the third-story public hall, though these violations were subsequently closed. More recent concerns include an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2021 regarding a missing downspout section that was causing water damage, with a $500 penalty currently outstanding.

The building has maintained relatively good pest control records, with no bedbug infestations reported between late 2020 and 2021, though there was evidence of rat activity noted in July 2024. Regular rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with only one instance of rat activity (July 2024) out of multiple inspections between 2016 and 2024. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, many complaints have been resolved without violations, though the active downspout violation and recent heating complaints are noteworthy concerns.
