172 East 206th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-unit building at 172 East 206th Street in Norwood, owned by Elisa Signore and constructed in 1915, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant occurring in August 2023. A cluster of complaints was filed during this period, including reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, as well as issues with walls, window frames, and radiator paint. The Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department issued violations during their inspection, particularly affecting the basement apartment.

These violations include concerns about paint condition, security of radiator covers, and defective safety devices (carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector). A notable incident occurred in December 2022 when there were reports of heat and hot water issues, though inspectors were unable to access the apartments to verify the conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of some issues, particularly regarding pests, with complaints filed in both December 2022 and May 2022.

However, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently in 2024, suggesting effective management of this particular concern. The building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero infested units, showing no evidence of this specific pest issue. A single Department of Buildings violation from 2019 regarding the failure to file a technical report was dismissed in 2021. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years, inspections and compliance efforts indicate active management of most issues, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data in October 2023.
