The 17-unit, 3-story residential building at 1365 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Yoel Shafer and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, between June 25-30, 2025, the building faced multiple emergency plumbing/water supply issues, with several open complaints recorded. The property has also shown recurring patterns of plumbing and sanitary problems, particularly between 2024-2025, including multiple complaints about pest infestations, mold, and various plumbing fixtures.

A series of violations related to building safety and maintenance were recorded in 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, security locks, and required safety notices in the public hall. The building has active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, recorded in June 2023. Earlier issues during 2019-2020 concerned construction work without proper permits and safety violations, including concerns about worker training and expired electrical permits, though these were subsequently resolved.

Inspection records show a mix of passed and failed rodent inspections between 2022-2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing. Notably, the building has maintained a zero incidence rate for bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2021-2025, indicating effective pest management in this area. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, many complaints have been addressed through HPD inspections, and recent rodent inspections have shown compliance with health standards.
