16 East 204th Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The 12-story, 54-unit residential building at 16 East 204th Street in Norwood, owned by Julio Salazar, was completed in 2017 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with elevator maintenance, as evidenced by open complaints from June 2025, and multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage.

The building has also faced challenges with heating and hot water systems, particularly highlighted by an emergency complaint in April 2025 concerning lack of service throughout the entire building. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of October 2023, particularly concerning apartment 3D, which has documented roach infestations and water leak issues in its hallway and foyer.

The property has shown some maintenance irregularities regarding building systems, with active violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports in 2023, and the most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 resulting in a failed rating for "Other Reasons." However, bedbug reports over the past four years (2020-2024) indicate no recorded infestations. While most recent violations have been resolved, the building's complaint history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, including electrical problems, unsanitary conditions, and various infrastructure concerns that have generated multiple 311 service requests and HPD complaints throughout 2025.
