1051 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1051 College Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Concourse Village, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Consolato Cicciu. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD, particularly during the winter months of 2024-2025 when several emergency complaints were registered for both apartment-specific and entire-building heat problems. The building underwent several housing maintenance code violations between 2022 and 2024, including issues with locks at various entrance doors (building entrance and apartment doors), problematic plumbing fixtures including leaky faucets and bathroom fixtures in multiple units, and a period of mold concerns in Apartment 4A's bathroom documented in June 2024.

The building's infrastructure has shown some concerning features, including an Environmental Control Board violation from March 2024 regarding the façade's decorative terra-cotta stones with reported cracks and deterioration that required a $1,250 penalty, and a complaint about building shaking/vibrations during the same month. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in March 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a zero-bedbug infestation record in its official filings since 2020, demonstrating effective pest management.

The most recent complaints through June 2025 indicate continued concerns with building systems, including another heat/hot water issue in May 2025 and an electrical outage in June 2025. While many of these complaints have been resolved and closed, they suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building-wide systems. The property has also experienced some security-related issues, as evidenced by multiple door and lock violations, though most of these have been addressed according to the certified dates of resolution.
