640 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

The two-family house at 640 Taylor Avenue in Clason Point, owned by Daniel Azizian, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since August 2024, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Most notably, violations were documented for safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, various ceiling issues requiring paint/plaster repairs, flooring concerns, a door frame problem, and appliance maintenance needs including refrigerator issues.

The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing violations, with most being certified as corrected by October 2024. An emergency complaint regarding mold and another regarding a smoke detector were received and closed between August 23-27, 2024, indicating the building's maintenance challenges during this period. The building's maintenance history shows attention to compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of multiple violations and the lack of any reported bedbug or rodent infestations since October 2010.

The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirmed no infested units, and previous reports from March 2024 and earlier periods showed similar findings of no infestation. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues in recent months, including multiple equipment and safety system concerns, the rapid response to inspections and issuance of violation notices suggests ongoing management attention to building maintenance and safety compliance. The property remains a two-story structure built in 1920, currently containing three residential units, with its most significant recent challenges centered around various repair and safety system maintenance needs.
