3208 Hull Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3208 Hull Avenue in Norwood, owned by Rose Ngadi, has a concerning history centered around multiple safety and maintenance issues, particularly during late 2018 and extending into recent years. The building, constructed in 1910 and classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, suffered significant fire damage in November 2018 that affected all three apartments and led to a partial roof collapse, creating structural concerns that resulted in a full vacate order. The Department of Buildings issued active violations related to the fire damage, requiring immediate property sealing and structural evaluation.

The property experienced persistent electrical issues in late 2018, with multiple emergency complaints about power outages and no lighting reported to HPD. These electrical problems coincided with unsanitary conditions, including rodent infestations, that were documented in multiple HPD complaints. While several violations were addressed between 2018 and 2019, including door self-closing mechanism requirements, more recent concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building has faced repeated rodent activity issues, with inspections in 2023-2024 consistently showing rat presence, despite some earlier inspections between 2017-2018 recording passing results. Additionally, the property has open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024. A repair permit was issued in January 2020, but the persistence of rodent activity and open violations indicate continuing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property as of 2025.
