325 East 206th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The five-story, 47-unit New Law Tenement building at 325 East 206th Street in Norwood, owned by Michael Besen and constructed in 1922, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In June 2025, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed, with at least two investigations resulting in violations needing correction. Other June 2025 complaints involved problems with doors, windows, ceilings, and flooring, with violations noted for door and window issues specifically.

The building has a history of rodent-related challenges, with inspections showing rat activity in January and June 2024, though more recent inspections in 2025 have passed. Of particular concern are open violations from December 2024 in apartment 49, including issues with a leaking heat riser pipe, water leak damage, and plastering problems, as well as infestation issues in apartment 46 from November 2024 involving mice and roaches. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over multiple annual inspections from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure and environmental issues requiring attention.

While there have been several violations issued, some have been promptly closed, such as those from April 2025 regarding paint/plaster concerns. The property was noted for failing to file a required energy benchmarking report in 2019, though this violation remains actively unclosed as of the most recent data. A permit for work was issued in March 2019, suggesting some maintenance activity has taken place. The most recent housing inspection records show a mix of compliance and violation statuses, with multiple inspections needed to address ongoing maintenance concerns.
