1433 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The five-story, 19-unit building at 1433 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village, currently owned by Mayer Kaufman, has experienced a series of maintenance issues throughout 2025, with particular concerns regarding water-related problems. Between January and June 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to plumbing and water supply, including two emergency complaints in June 2025, two plumbing complaints in April that resulted in violations, and a water leak issue in March.

The building has also faced recurring door-related problems, with an open door complaint as of May 2025 and an emergency door complaint in June 2025. Other maintenance issues this year include heating concerns in April, electrical problems in February, and appliance issues with the refrigerator. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, including multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to complete inspections (notably for plumbing issues) and several cases where violations were issued, requiring the owner to make corrections within specified timeframes.

The Department of Buildings records show a 2025 complaint regarding blocked egress that resulted in an Oath violation being served. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), suggesting good pest management practices. The building's inspection history also shows regular CSE (Commissioner’s Emergency) sweeps between 2022 and 2023, with no violations warranting fines or penalties during these inspections, though a Stop Work Order was fully rescinded in July 2022.
