1070 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The 75-unit, 6-story building at 1070 Elder Avenue in Soundview, owned by Elder 1070 LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since 2022, particularly concerning its elevator system and pest control. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the elevator's functionality, with multiple violations issued between 2022 and 2025 regarding inoperative systems, including an active ECB violation from June 2024 for multiple elevator issues with a penalty of $625. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including open complaints as of 2025 for paint/plaster issues, unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance problems, and heat/hot water concerns.
Apartment 6E has been the focal point of multiple violations in 2024 regarding mold, pests, and various maintenance issues including electrical and plumbing problems. Inspection records reveal consistent rodent activity throughout the building across multiple inspections from 2022 to 2025, with last recorded activity in May 2025. The building has shown some compliance with bedbug regulations, with no reported infestations over multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2025. A concerning structural issue was reported in 2023 regarding building shaking, and there are active environmental control board violations regarding elevator maintenance compliance.
The property has also required multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints for various issues, including wall damage, heat problems, and unsanitary conditions, with several violations requiring correction within specified timeframes. While some violations have been resolved over time, many persistent issues, particularly regarding elevator functionality and pest control, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (built in 1927) and classification as a New Law Tenement indicate it is subject to specific housing regulations, and recent service requests continue to document various maintenance issues. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports show zero violations for bedbugs, but regular noting of rat activity indicates ongoing pest management challenges.
