701 Elton Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455
701 Elton Avenue is a 5-story commercial building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Usher Steinmetz. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple recent complaints in 2025 regarding electrical issues (specifically no lighting), ceiling problems, and pest infestations. The building has a significant history of facade maintenance issues, with multiple active ECB violations from 2021-2024 citing problems with dislodged and missing bricks, spalling cement, and other facade deficiencies, including penalties totaling up to $25,000.
Repeated elevator service complaints have been documented from 2023-2024, though some were found without violation upon inspection. Recent inspections revealed various maintenance issues that required attention, including problems with doors, windows, and general building systems. There have been multiple instances in 2025 where HPD inspectors were unable to complete inspections due to access issues. The building's plumbing and electrical systems have also been problematic, with several emergency complaints related to lighting and appliance issues.
While rodent inspections show some history of problems, the most recent inspection in 2023 passed, and bedbug reports for 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. The property has undergone multiple permit improvements between 2018-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, though these have not fully resolved the recurring maintenance issues. The building's recent history (2023-2025) shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems (elevators, lighting, and plumbing), while earlier structural issues (2021-2022) primarily focused on exterior facade problems. The property has passed recent rodent inspections and shows no current bedbug issues, though the frequency of recent complaints suggests continuing resident maintenance concerns.
