1059 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The three-story, three-unit building at 1059 Teller Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Orlando Cespedes, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past three years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating systems. From September 2022 through October 2023, there were five documented heat and hot water complaints, including three building-wide incidents, with the most recent occurring in October 2023.
The building has also faced electrical problems, including a power outage in August 2023, and multiple safety concerns, as evidenced by six Housing Maintenance Code complaints in December 2022 related to safety matters including smoke detectors and fire escape conditions. Inspection records from 2023-2024 show persistent rodent issues, with multiple "Rat Activity" findings, though the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 recorded bait application. Significantly, the property is currently facing three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 related to illegal conversion attempts, including a penalty totaling $35,000 for allegedly converting the building from a three-unit to a four-unit dwelling by creating and occupying a cellar apartment with full bathroom and kitchen facilities.
These violations include inadequate lighting and ventilation and unauthorized construction work. Recent building inspections from 2023-2024 have led to multiple open violations, including issues with the building entrance door lock, construction materials in public areas, accumulated refuse in the front yard, and various safety and maintenance concerns in the first-story public areas. While the building's bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 shows no infestations, the property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, with many complaints requiring multiple follow-up inspections and ongoing violations as of 2024.
