505 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 505 Taylor Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Elias Hernandez and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns currently centered in Apartment 1. As of March 2024, there are multiple open violations in Apartment 1 including defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, self-closing doors, broken floor sections, and a reported cockroach infestation. These violations are classified as B and C, indicating varying levels of severity.

The building has also had recurring issues with signage, as evidenced by similar 311 complaints in 2024 and 2025, one of which was verified as corrected while the other was not inspected. Looking at the building's history, there were multiple electrical and sanitary issues reported in November 2021, including problems with wiring, outlets, and the presence of mold and pests, all of which resulted in violations. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status in its most recent reporting period (Nov 2023 - Oct 2024), though previous years showed occasional eradications required in up to 3 units.

The building's maintenance record shows some improvements over time, including the successful resolution of various electrical and sanitary issues from 2021, as well as annual bedbug reporting compliance. Recent complaints regarding the building's occupancy certificate and fencing were investigated in early 2025, though no violations were found in the fencing complaint and the occupancy issue was referred to HPD. The property demonstrates ongoing challenges with both electrical systems and sanitary conditions, particularly in Apartment 1, while showing some progress in management responsiveness and compliance with reporting requirements. The building's record also indicates periodic attention to pest control and adherence to bedbug reporting regulations, with most recent filings showing no current infestations, though previous years required eradication efforts.
