1187 Anderson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

1187 Anderson Avenue is a 6-story, 129-unit residential building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Francisco Breton. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with its elevator system, which has been the subject of numerous complaints and violations regarding service interruptions between 2021 and 2025. The most recent elevator-related issue, logged as active in November 2024, involves single device operation with no alternate service, generating substantial penalties totaling over $7,500.

Complaints about basic services have persisted throughout 2025, including multiple heat and hot water system issues, with violations issued for inadequate service and failed inspection access. The building has also faced significant sanitary challenges, with multiple reports of mold, plumbing issues, and pest infestations documented between 2025 and 2024. Recent inspections and complaints reveal pressing maintenance concerns, including rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2024-2025, and various housing maintenance code violations.

These include plumbing issues (affecting sinks, toilets, and water supply), unsanitary conditions, and problems with building infrastructure such as the intercom system and various apartment-specific issues. The building's management has received numerous violation notices requiring correction of these conditions, including an active Department of Buildings ECB violation from December 2024 regarding elevator maintenance requirements, with associated penalties. While the building has undergone some inspections and enforcement actions, including rodent baiting and various repair orders, many issues remain ongoing, as evidenced by the frequency of service requests and violations in recent months. Additionally, the property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings since 2020, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.
