1073 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 1073 Teller Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Doodnath Ramdhanie, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges since at least 2021. The building has a recurring pattern of heat and hot water issues, with four documented complaints about these essential services between 2021 and 2025, including a most recent emergency complaint in April 2025. During 2022, the property faced several significant health and safety concerns, including pest infestations, mold, and lead paint issues.

Notably, violations were issued for pest infestations in December 2022, and potential lead-based paint conditions were identified during inspections of the building's walls. The building's first apartment (APT1) has multiple open violations from 2022, including problems with peeling paint, pest infestations, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with various maintenance issues such as leaky faucets and defective kitchen cabinet doors. Recent inspection records from 2023 through mid-2025 show consistent rodent activity, with multiple inspections (typically every six months) revealing the presence of rats, despite some bait application attempts.

The building's ownership has received multiple bedbug report violation notices in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with maintaining proper pest management protocols. While some heat and hot water issues appear to have been temporarily resolved following complaints (as indicated in HPD closure notes), the recurring nature of these and other maintenance problems raises concerns about the building's overall habitability. The most recent regulatory violations from 2023 require the building to file annual bedbug reports, while 2024 inspections indicate ongoing rodent activity that persists into 2025, as evidenced by compliance inspections in June, July, and February 2025 all reporting rat activity.
