943 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451

The 37-unit, 5-story building at 943 Teller Avenue in Concourse Village, built in 1920, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with its heating system. Most recently, in November 2023, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, resulting in violations related to inadequate hot water provision and locked access to the heating system. The building has also faced significant issues in Apartment 2E, including multiple violations issued in September 2023 for problems with electrical wiring, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and flooring, though some of these violations have since been closed.

The boiler system has been a recurring concern, with violations issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding defective equipment and improper removal of the boiler without proper permits. The building's recent history includes multiple emergencies requiring HPD intervention, particularly in 2023, with complaints about water leaks, paint/plaster issues, and electrical problems. There have been ongoing efforts to address these issues, as evidenced by the issuance of various permits between 2022 and 2024 for electrical and plumbing work.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with consistent reporting of zero infested units since 2019. While there have been some issues with rat activity noted in inspections between 2024 and 2025, recent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing compliance results. The building's management has also filed for and received multiple permits in 2023-2024, indicating ongoing maintenance work, though the frequency and nature of complaints suggest persistent building systems challenges that require regular intervention by city agencies.
