239 East 207th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 11-unit, 4-story building at 239 East 207th Street in Norwood, owned by Sakander Raja, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since 2022, with particular issues in heating, hot water, and pest control. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, resulting in multiple violations being issued. Apartment 2C has been identified as having specific pest and hot water issues, with violations documented in 2024 for both rodent and cockroach infestations.

The building's history shows recurring pest problems, with multiple HPD complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests between 2022 and 2024, including several opened violations related to mice and roach infestations. The building has also faced significant operational issues, including four open violations as of 2024 related to failure to file required external low pressure inspections between 2019 and 2023. Additionally, there were concerns regarding unauthorized work, with complaints about work without permits in 2022-2023, though inspections did not find violations.

The Department of Health conducted multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, with most recent inspections reporting passed results, suggesting some improvement in rodent management. The property has generally maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, passing the most recent inspection in June 2025. While some building systems issues appear to have been addressed, the frequency of heating and pest-related complaints indicates ongoing building maintenance challenges.
