1276 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 12-unit, 5-story tenement building at 1276 Clay Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Nate Ruby, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints in April 2025, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. Since June 2025, several new maintenance issues have emerged, including open complaints regarding mold, heavy water leaks, wall damage, and plumbing problems involving the bathtub/shower.
The building has also faced recurring rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 (including six inspections showing rat activity between February and July 2025, with bait applied during several of these visits). The property's maintenance history shows some significant violations and concerns over the past few years. In late 2024, multiple violations were documented regarding building safety, including problems with self-closing doors, locks, and fire escape obstructions.
Three hazardous (Class C) violations were issued in November 2024, though these were subsequently closed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five annual filings (2019-2024). While some past violations have been resolved, including recent inspections in 2024-2025 showing compliance with certain safety requirements, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone several inspections and violations throughout 2024-2025, including issues with waste management, building access, and various maintenance concerns that have been addressed through legal and administrative channels.
