1661 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1661 Nelson Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Morris Heights, owned by Nestor Fernandez and constructed in 1999. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaints filed in January 2025, requiring multiple 311 calls for apartments only conditions, though these complaints were either duplicates or access issues for HPD inspections.
The building has also faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly during late 2024 through mid-2025, with multiple unaddressed violations related to the 3rd-floor apartment, including plumbing concerns (toilet issues - emergency nature), problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, and issues with an electric/gas range, though these complaints were ultimately closed due to access issues for inspections. Historical records show a pattern of heat/hot water problems dating back several years, with complaints in 2020, 2021, and 2022 all resulting in similar access issues for inspections. Additionally, a rodent infestation report from 2020 revealed Class B violations for mold conditions, bathroom tile repairs, door issues, and an inoperative intercom system in the 3rd-floor apartment.
The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding bedbug and rodent inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passing without issues. Annual bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no evidence of infestation. While the building has had persistent maintenance issues requiring multiple service requests, most violations have been addressed through inspections or corrective actions, though some remain open as of the latest records.
