1469 Teller Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 1469 Teller Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by Gil Broitman, has been experiencing significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly affecting Unit 2. The building, constructed in 1920, has an alarming pattern of rodent-related complaints, with eight violations recorded between January 2024 and May 2025, although recent inspections in June 2025 resulted in a "Passed" compliance status. Housing Maintenance Code violations from June 2024 revealed multiple issues in Unit 2, including concerns with leaks, mold, broken plaster, window problems, and an active mouse infestation, though some violations were subsequently marked as "closed." December 2023 brought a series of emergency complaints related to plumbing issues involving bathtubs, showers, radiators, sinks, and heavy water leaks.

The building has undergone several inspections and service requests, with varying outcomes. Most recent inspections show some improvement, with a mix of passed and failed compliance results regarding rodent conditions. Historical data shows no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years, and there were no violations found during construction-related inspections in 2023.

While some complaints have been resolved, including a stop-work order that was rescinded in May 2025, the building continues to present persistent maintenance challenges, particularly concerning pest control and plumbing systems. The apartment has also been under periodic inspection for rodent issues, with the most recent inspections (as of June 2025) showing some compliance improvements. The building's recent history shows a pattern of health and safety concerns, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Housing Preservation Development issuing multiple violations requiring follow-up inspections. While some violations have been closed, several remain open, particularly those related to water damage, mold, and pest control in Unit 2.
