1550 Townsend Avenue, Bronx, NY 10452

The 60-unit, 6-story building at 1550 Townsend Avenue in Mount Eden, built in 1928 and currently owned by Eric Millanjr, has experienced numerous maintenance issues and violations in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns as of May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions with pests (currently open complaint) and previously documented rodent issues in Apartment 4D (C-class violation). The building has also faced repeated heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2024 through early 2025, some of which resulted in violations.

Recent building management has been marked by multiple emergency plumbing issues in June 2025, though these were subsequently closed. The property has several active violations related to its facade inspection requirements, including failure to file acceptable reports for critical examinations and unsafe conditions, with penalties imposed in 2024. There was also a significant incident in late 2024 involving heavy water flow issues in multiple apartments, water leaks impacting units 4D and 6H, and various maintenance problems with paint/plaster surfaces.

While the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections in 2024-2025, the emergence of pest-related complaints in 2025 is concerning. The elevator system has had documented issues, with a violation being issued in 2019 for failure to correct defects noted during inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues with basic services such as heat, hot water, and plumbing systems, with multiple violations requiring correction under housing maintenance codes.
