1420 Clay Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 48-unit, 6-story building at 1420 Clay Avenue in Claremont Village, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jose Guzman, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, a December 2024 inspection revealed serious facade problems requiring emergency attention, including cracked and spalling masonry bricks, deteriorated window sills, and bulging walls around the basement and 6th story, resulting in a partial vacate order for the affected courtyards.
The building has ongoing issues with heat and hot water infrastructure, with multiple violations for inadequate service recorded in December 2024 affecting apartment 3B, as well as elevator maintenance concerns that have persisted for several years, including multiple "No Alternate Service" violations between 2019 and 2024. Since early 2025, there have been several health and maintenance complaints, including issues with mold, window frames, and wall conditions, though many of these were reported as resolved after inspection. The building has shown a pattern of water-related problems, with complaints regarding leaks and sanitary conditions in both 2024 and 2025.
Inspection records from 2023-2025 indicate periodic rodent activity, though recent inspections have resulted in bait applications rather than ongoing infestations. The property has experienced recurring issues with building systems, including water damage, heating problems, and elevator failures, though some violations have been closed after corrections were made. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to certain violations, as evidenced by multiple instances of violations being certified as corrected, including fire safety equipment repairs in apartment 6A and various maintenance issues.
