374 East 209th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The five-story, 27-unit building at 374 East 209th Street in Norwood, owned by Michael Goldstein, has numerous ongoing maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, in June 2025, multiple violations were recorded for paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings, door issues, and concerns about a bathtub/shower, all requiring correction within specified timeframes. The property also has unresolved violations from August 2024 in apartment 2B, including water leaks affecting multiple bathroom surfaces and broken plaster that requires repair.

Building systems have shown concerning patterns, with power outages and water supply issues reported in spring 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in response to these complaints. The building's rodent control efforts have been inconsistent, with multiple failed inspections in 2024 suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. While the property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent reporting periods between 2019-2024, other maintenance issues persist, including an unsanitary condition related to a dog reported in September 2024 and window frame concerns identified in 2025.

The building's history shows periodic attention to major systems, with three boiler-related complaints logged between 2019-2023, though inspections found no violations at those times. Previous violations from 2024 included cockroach infestation in apartment 2B, which was subsequently addressed. While there were some infrastructure concerns noted in 2023 regarding illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues, inspections did not warrant any violations. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2023-2024, with mixed results indicating ongoing challenges in this area, though the most recent inspection in November 2024 resulted in a pass.
