1655 Undercliff Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1655 Undercliff Avenue is a 16-story, 125-unit residential building constructed in 1967, currently owned by Smajlje Srdanovic and managed by Stellar Undercliff LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with significant concerns emerging in 2021 regarding balcony safety, leading to a vacate order and multiple active violations related to the building's façade and balcony conditions. These violations cite problems with cracked, spalled, and dislodged concrete on various balconies, with associated penalties totaling $40,000 for failing to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions.

Recent complaints from 2025 indicate ongoing issues with cooking gas systems, while multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed and partially resolved in April 2025. The building has also struggled with rodent and pest control, with inspections showing consistent rat activity between 2021 and 2025, though a recent inspection in June 2025 passed compliance. The property has faced several serious structural and safety concerns in recent years, including three closed structure-related complaints in April 2023 regarding building shaking, structural monitoring, and special operations compliance.

While some violations from earlier periods have been addressed (including pest issues in apartments 5D and 9H), new concerns continue to emerge. The building's recent maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, with multiple active violations related to building maintenance, including problems with flooring, stairs, and intercom systems as of June 2025. The property has demonstrated some capacity for addressing certain violations, as evidenced by multiple recent inspections passing compliance, though significant structural and safety concerns remain outstanding according to current active violation records. Please note that while this report summarizes available building data up to October 2023, actual conditions and violation statuses may have changed since that time, and additional context or details may be available from the property management or relevant agencies.
