1360 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The property at 1360 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Miryam Ambulu. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025 when multiple violations were documented regarding the building's structural integrity, including a partially detached cornice at the front wall that posed an imminent danger of collapse. In May 2025, the Department of Buildings issued multiple active violations requiring immediate action, including the installation of an 8-foot construction fence around the front yard and emergency repairs to the cornice.

These conditions resulted in Full Vacate Orders being served. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with basic services, including a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2024, and multiple plumbing-related complaints between 2018 and 2024. There were also significant concerns about unauthorized alterations and occupancy, with violations noted in 2022 regarding illegal "Class A" apartment conversions in the basement and other areas.

While the building has maintained a zero incidence of bedbug infestations in recent years, rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with multiple failed inspections in 2024 followed by some compliance passes in 2025. The property has an active ECB violation related to facade disrepair and foundation issues as of December 2024, with a penalty imposed. The building's record shows a pattern of emergency maintenance issues requiring intervention from various city agencies, including the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health. While some complaints have been resolved, including multiple water leak and plumbing issues, the persistence of structural concerns and safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
