1319 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The two-family residential building at 1319 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Russell Hanson, has experienced several significant issues over the past five years, most notably in 2020 when the property faced serious structural concerns. In June 2020, there were complaints regarding building shaking and stability, which led to the discovery of dangerous conditions including a cornice and roof collapse that fell onto the sidewalk, leaving the interior exposed to the elements.

These hazardous conditions resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $7,530, though records indicate these violations have since been resolved. The building received a vacate order that was fully rescinded in February 2022, and there was a subsequent violation issued in September 2020 for failure to certify correction of the immediately hazardous condition. The property has maintained regular inspections since then, with the most recent rodent inspections showing consistent compliance and passing results throughout 2023-2025, except for one failure in May 2024 for "Other Reasons" - though records do not specify the nature of this issue.

Historical inspection data shows that prior to this inspection failure, the building had consistently passed all previous rodent inspections from 2020 through 2023. The building's most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 was conducted approximately three months prior to the current date and resulted in a passing grade. While the 2020 structural issues were serious and required substantial remediation, there have been no recorded building code violations or serious complaints since the 2020 incident, and the property has consistently passed recent safety inspections.
