1106 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 1106 College Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Elaine Steele and constructed in 1929, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern around heat and water systems. The property has suffered from multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025, with several complaints requiring HPD inspections and necessary corrections, though some units reported temperatures exceeding 130 degrees at fixtures. Recent violations include a mold issue in apartment 4R and carbon monoxide detector problems in apartment 3L, both of which were certified corrected in 2024.

The building has shown persistent pest management challenges, with records indicating rodent activity throughout 2024-2025 and historical issues with cockroach infestations, particularly in apartment 5L as noted in 2021. Multiple 311 complaints have been logged, including a recent mailbox issue in 2025 that resulted in violations being issued to the property owner. A comprehensive review of the building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with basic services such as heating and hot water, which have generated multiple emergency complaints.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2024-2025, consistently showing rat activity despite bait applications in early 2025. While the building has maintained an active track record of addressing violations as evidenced by certification dates, the frequency and nature of complaints suggest persistent underlying maintenance issues. Notably, the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past 5 years, and previous issues with bathroom door alignment and heating system access have been resolved according to records.
