205 East 205th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 205 East 205th Street in Norwood, owned by Leanora Derby, has been in operation since 1905 and presents a mixed maintenance history. Most recently, in May 2025, the building underwent multiple inspections revealing several issues requiring attention, including problems with window frames, an electric/gas range, and significant pest-related violations. These were among multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions that were documented during the same inspection cycle, though some prior violations had been resolved.

The property has a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, with similar pest complaints and window problems appearing throughout its recent history. Previous years show various concerns, including plumbing issues (bathtub/shower and water supply problems in 2020), heating complaints, and multiple appliance-related issues, though many of these were resolved without violations being issued. The building has maintained a proper record-keeping system for bedbug reporting, showing zero infested units consecutively from 2021 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.

Additionally, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2015 through 2024 consistently passed, indicating generally effective vermin control protocols. Between 2020 and 2025, multiple violations were documented regarding building safety requirements, including missed deadlines for bedbug reporting (2022-2023), and several safety notice posting requirements related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. The most recent violation record from 2023 indicates issues with window frames, pests, and various unsanitary conditions that required correction, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite regular inspections.
