1353 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1353 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village, built in 1926 and currently owned by 1353 Teller Ave LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, the building has faced multiple heating system problems, with emergency heat and hot water complaints documented in January 2021, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed several violations, including a requirement to file an annual bedbug report (class A violation) and window guard installation issues in Apartment 1B.

Apartment 2B has been the focus of multiple maintenance concerns, including water leaks, rodent infestation, and interior damage violations recorded between 2023-2024. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing initial inspections between 2020-2025, though there was one failed inspection in late 2024. Historical issues include a 2018 construction compliance violation and a gas utility referral, neither of which resulted in any penalties.

The building's management has generally complied with most housing maintenance code requirements, though there have been recurring violations related to bedbug reporting (2019, 2022) and window guard maintenance (2023-2024). Recent rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has maintained active communication with regulatory agencies, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2025, showing no recorded infestations during these periods. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the management has typically addressed most violations through proper certification or correction within the required timeframes, as shown by the "Closed" status on the majority of violations.
