1405 College Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 70-unit, 6-story building at 1405 College Avenue in Claremont Village, owned by John Dale and built in 1941, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. Most notably, 2025 saw repeated issues with heat and hot water, particularly in February when multiple complaints were filed regarding the entire building's systems. More recent complaints from May 2025 about unsanitary conditions, including pests, wall issues, and cabinet problems, were closed due to the HPD inspector's inability to gain access for inspection.
The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, though inspections often found no violations. Recent maintenance issues documented in June 2025 include problems with flooring, mold, electrical outlets, and water leaks. The building has faced significant habitability challenges, including a C-class violation for an inoperable kitchen marble saddle and various plumbing and safety issues in apartments 1H, 2G, and 6J as of late 2024.
Rodent inspections show a history of rat activity, with the most recent June 2025 inspection passed, though previous inspections noted concerns. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024-2025 point to ongoing elevator maintenance issues, including a current active violation from December 2024 regarding inoperative zone lock restrictors and maintenance log discrepancies. The building's management has had some success in addressing past violations, as evidenced by multiple closed violations related to bathroom and kitchen repairs, safety equipment, and pest control, with bedbug reports showing minimal infestations over the past eight years.
