1005 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit, two-story building at 1005 Elder Avenue in Soundview, owned by Claudio Mascialino, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent concerns centering around appliance problems. In September 2024, two separate complaints were filed regarding electric/gas range issues, but HPD was unable to gain access to inspect either case, leading to their closure.

Historically, the building has had multiple maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2019 when Apartment 2B (the second floor, west unit) received several violations including issues with mold, defective plastered surfaces, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. That same year also saw investigations into water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and a carbon monoxide detector violation, with some issues remaining classified as open violations.

The building's earlier history includes several significant incidents in 2018, including complaints about heat and hot water issues, plumbing problems, and ventilation concerns, though these appear to have been resolved as indicated by subsequent inspections. The property has maintained rigorous pest control standards, with rodent inspections consistently passing from 2016 through 2025, and it has demonstrated effective bedbug management with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025). While there have been numerous service requests over the years, most have been resolved, and the building has shown improvement in recent years, particularly regarding pest control and annual bedbug reporting compliance, though the unresolved 2024 appliance issues suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges.
