44 East 208th Street, Bronx, NY 10467
The 5-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement at 44 East 208th Street in Norwood, built in 1927 and currently owned by Sali Lajqi, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. Between October 2024 and March 2025, there were three documented complaints about lack of heat/hot water, with at least one being classified as an emergency.
In addition to heating issues, the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues), mold concerns, flooring problems, and window frame violations. A June 2024 inspection of apartment 58 revealed several urgent issues requiring attention, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, lead paint hazards, and pest infestations, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, with most results showing compliance, though there was evidence of rat activity in November 2022.
The Property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2021-2024). Historical records from 2019-2020 show some administrative issues regarding energy use benchmarking that were eventually resolved. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and maintained a clean bedbug record, the recurring heat/hot water problems and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance protocols.
