543 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

543 Taylor Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Loreto Goris. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues between 2021 and 2022, with a particular cluster of problems occurring in December 2021, including multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting both the entire building and individual apartments.

These issues led to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures and other heating system failures. Notably, the 2nd-floor apartment reported multiple violations in January 2022 related to gas supply, heating, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and a defective carbon monoxide detector. The building's history shows significant events around 2019, when violations were issued regarding illegal conversion to a 4-family dwelling from its legally approved 2-family status, resulting in an active $5,000 penalty.

There were also multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2019 related to failure to comply with the Commissioner's orders regarding work without permit, though these were ultimately marked as resolved with no penalties due. More recent complaints from 2022-2023 continued to show pattern of heating system problems, though fewer urgent maintenance issues have been recorded since the initial cluster in late 2021. The property has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2019, suggesting some baseline level of maintenance compliance.
