96 East 208th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 96 East 208th Street in Norwood, currently owned by Esat Gashi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In March 2025, multiple complaints were filed and inspected by HPD, resulting in violations related to unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), problems with walls and ceilings (paint/plaster issues), a window pane issue, and appliance concerns (refrigerator and electric/gas range).

These complaints were all resolved through inspections, though some resulted in violations requiring owner remediation. The building has an Open violation from August 2024 regarding multiple issues in apartment 4B, including problems with the bathroom walls, light switches, water leaks, ceiling fixtures, and evidence of a cockroach infestation, as well as needed repairs in the kitchen. Prior to 2025, the building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violations, with rodent inspections indicating generally passing results between 2016-2024, though there was one failure in November 2022.

The property has consistently filed Bedbug Reports between 2021-2025 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the reporting periods. A sidewalk-related complaint from December 2020 was closed with no violations found. The most recent inspections in 2024-2025 suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and conditions, particularly in apartment 4B, though the building has demonstrated some recent improvements in pest control and compliance with rodent inspections.
