1055 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1055 Teller Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Orlando Cespedes. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around electrical problems. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple reports of electrical issues including power outages, wiring problems, and lighting failures, with the most recent cluster of electrical complaints occurring in June 2023.

The building has also faced intermittent heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in July 2022 and January 2023, though inspections did not always result in confirmed violations. More recently, in 2024-2025, the property has been dealing with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application between June 2023 and July 2025. The most recent inspection in April 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 1, including issues with electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, cabinet damage, and door hardware.

These violations, classified as Class B and Class C, represent concerns that could affect resident comfort and safety. While the building's recent bedbug report (June 2025) indicated no current infestations, the property has a history of pest issues, with a significant infestation reported in January 2023. The building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly in terms of electrical, heating, and pest control systems, with many complaints and violations remaining unresolved or only recently addressed.
