1260 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1260 Clay Avenue, located in Concourse Village, is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by David Freier. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with particularly significant problems emerging in June 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply problems, heavy water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and electrical problems including lighting and outlets. These recent issues have resulted in several open violations that require owner attention.

The building's history reveals persistent challenges, particularly in Apartment 2B, where multiple violations were documented in late 2024, including mold, plumbing issues, and pest infestations (mice and roaches), though most of these were marked as resolved by early 2025. There have been recurring water supply and plumbing issues throughout 2025, with both open and closed violations. The property's maintenance record shows some positive developments, with routine rodent inspections in 2023-2025 passing, though earlier inspections in 2022 indicated rat activity.

Historical data shows a boiler-related violation in 2023 regarding access to the heating system, and plumbing issues requiring multiple inspection attempts in 2021. Notably, the building has maintained a pest-free status for bedbugs according to annual reports from 2021 to 2024, with no infested units reported in the past four years. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, the frequency and nature of the recent violations suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
