1200 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1200 College Avenue is a 6-story, 72-unit residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by David Schorr. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple water-related issues emerging in June, including heavy water leaks and problems with plumbing fixtures. Significant concerns include repeated reports of mold (both emergency and non-emergency), wall paint/plaster issues, and various other maintenance problems such as door repairs and appliance malfunctions.

The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in apartment 1E, where issues such as rodent infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, and various repair needs were documented between 2024-2025. The property has faced ongoing elevator service concerns, with several complaints about lack of alternate service recorded between 2024-2025. Building envelope issues have been noted, including cracked and spalling bricks as documented in Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024. While the building typically demonstrates compliance with bedbug reporting requirements (showing zero confirmed cases since 2019), it has faced persistent rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025, with bait application being necessary in several instances.

Recent inspections from July 2025 indicate continued rodent control efforts are underway. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with multiple instances of violations for inadequate repairs, maintenance, and safety compliance. While some violations have been certified as corrected (particularly those from 1E), several remain active or were only recently addressed, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property's environmental control board violations from 2024 cite issues with the building's exterior facade, additional storage violations, and concerns about unauthorized gas piping installations, though some of these have been resolved through compliance actions.
