124 Elliot Place, Bronx, NY 10452

124 Elliot Place, a 5-story, 50-unit residential building constructed in 1924, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, particularly regarding plumbing and maintenance concerns. Most recently, in May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing issues (basins, sinks, water supply, and bathtub/showers) and ceiling paint/plaster conditions, with some resulting in violations that required correction.

The building has faced ongoing rodent issues, with failed inspections recorded in April 2025 and November 2024, though it passed inspections in March 2025 and October 2024. A significant concentration of violations was documented in late 2024, including issues with lighting at the front entrance, garbage management, and an infestation of waterbugs and roaches in Apartment 1B, along with problems with security features in Apartment 2D. The building's systems continue to show maintenance challenges, with multiple plumbing and paint/plaster issues reported between April and June 2025, including emergencies and non-emergencies.

While the property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several years, with zero reported infestations from 2020 through 2024, the persistent plumbing, paint, and rodent issues suggest ongoing maintenance and habitability concerns. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted multiple inspections in response to complaints, with some resulting in violations that require owner correction, though many complaints were found not to violate housing laws. The building's most recent violations, certified in early 2025, primarily relate to inadequate lighting and garbage management in common areas, indicating potential safety and sanitation concerns in shared spaces.
