405 East 204th Street, Bronx, NY 10467

The 5-story, 19-unit tenement building at 405 East 204th Street in Norwood, owned by 405-409 GV LLC and constructed in 1911, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple plumbing and unsanitary conditions reported, including problems with water supply, radiator issues, and mold, all resulting in HPD violations that required corrections. The building has also faced recurring issues with heat and hot water, as evidenced by an emergency complaint in January 2025 regarding lack of these essential services, though they were reportedly restored before inspection.

Prior to this, in 2024, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including a significant incident in February 2024 that affected multiple areas. The building's maintenance history includes several violations related to water damage and mold in Apartment 16, as well as issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system. The property has a documented history of infrastructure and maintenance challenges extending back to 2018, when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding building walls, retaining walls, and boiler room conditions, though these were subsequently resolved.

More recently, there is an active violation from June 2023 concerning failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2024, showing periods of rat activity despite some inspections passing. Bedbug reports from 2019-2025 indicate generally effective eradication efforts, with no reported infestations in the last four filing periods. The most recent service requests and violations suggest ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance that require monitoring, though many historical violations have been resolved through various repair and correction efforts.
