808 Elsmere Place, Bronx, NY 10460

The 7-story, 25-unit residential building at 808 Elsmere Place in Tremont, owned by Mayer Kaufman, was completed in 2020 and has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues since then. Most notably, there is currently an active elevator service complaint from May 2025 regarding a single-device system with no alternate service, and the building has experienced recurring elevator problems since 2022, with similar complaints about single-device service appearing multiple times over the years.

The building is also currently facing several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from a September 2024 inspection of apartment 6A (related to plaster surfaces and door issues) and apartment 6B (including water leak problems, electrical fixture issues, and mold concerns). Between March and May 2025, multiple service requests generated violations, including problems with doors, flooring, walls, and pest issues. Earlier inspection records reveal a concerning pattern of rodent activity in 2019-2020, though recent inspections in 2022 and 2025 have passed.

During construction in 2020, several safety violations were recorded regarding fall protection and scaffolding issues, resulting in penalties totaling $12,000. The building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicate no reported infestations, and while there have been various sanitation issues, most recent inspections have shown improvements in pest control. The property has maintained compliance with various housing safety inspections, though the persistent elevator issues and recent maintenance violations suggest ongoing management challenges.
