1677 Townsend Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1677 Townsend Avenue is a 35-unit, 7-story residential building constructed in 2022 and currently owned by Mayer Kaufman. The building's maintenance record from 2022 to the present reveals several recurring issues, particularly with plumbing systems and sanitary conditions. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of water supply problems, including two immediate emergencies in June 2025 and previous incidents in 2024.

The building has also experienced ongoing pest issues, with two HPD inspections in 2024 related to unsanitary conditions, though one inspection found no housing law violations. The Department of Buildings has recorded two significant elevator-related complaints (active as of April 2025 and previously closed in March 2024) regarding single-device service, which could impact resident accessibility. Earlier complaints from 2022 during construction included allegations of work without proper permits and construction beyond approved plans, though inspections did not warrant violations in these cases.

The building's pest control history shows no reported bedbug infestations between November 2022 and October 2023, with zero units affected during that period. While multiple complaints have been filed and addressed through appropriate channels, it's worth noting that several inspections resulted in either no violations being found or inspectors being unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. The property has undergone regular official inspections and responses from various city agencies, indicating ongoing monitoring of building conditions since its construction.
