306 East 206th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 306 East 206th Street in Norwood, currently owned by Tofael Chowdhury and constructed in 1925, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there are significant active issues as of 2025, including ongoing rodent problems with documented rat activity in March and May 2025, and multiple violations from an August 2024 inspection that remain unresolved.

These violations include the absence of carbon monoxide detectors, broken wood floors, painting deficiencies, water leak issues, and reports of pest infestations including roaches and mice in the ground floor apartment. The building has also shown a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with both initial and compliance inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming the presence of rats. Historical issues include a concerning series of complaints in late 2019 regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though access issues during inspections limited verification.

In 2018, there was an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain proper housekeeping standards, resulting in a $500 penalty. The building has undergone some permitted work in 2019, with two permits issued for plumbing and electrical work, though the specific nature and completion status of this work is not detailed in the records. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have consistently indicated regulatory non-compliance regarding pest control, safety systems, and general maintenance, suggesting ongoing challenges with property upkeep and habitability standards.
