50 East 212th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

50 East 212th Street is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building located in the Norwood neighborhood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Sheila Mcgrath. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with water leaks, heat and hot water problems, and multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including mold.

Most recently, in early 2025, there were documented water leaks and mold issues, and between late 2024 and early 2025, there were several heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building underwent significant inspection and violation documentation in late 2024, particularly concerning Apartment 2G, where multiple violations were recorded related to lead paint hazards, water leaks, mold, and interior surface conditions. The building's elevator system has been a significant concern, particularly in 2021, with multiple complaints about a single device providing service to the 6-story structure; while some violations were resolved and penalties were imposed, the elevator system continued to show recurring issues.

Additionally, there are several unanswered violation notices from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021). Rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025 have shown mixed results, with several incidents of rat activity reported, though most recent inspections in 2024-2025 passed without issues. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods, with no reported cases or treatments since 2018.
