1151 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
1151 Elder Avenue is a five-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Joseph Friedman. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in January and April 2025, including building-wide problems that affected multiple units. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, including a slow water leak and ceiling plaster issues reported and inspected in February 2025, leading to violations being issued.
The building underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in December 2024, revealing several safety and maintenance violations, including glass replacement issues in public hall windows, problems with self-closing doors, and concerns about a fire escape ladder. Three of these violations remain open as of this writing. The building's maintenance history shows persistent rodent activity concerns between 2022 and 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait.
Historical records from 2018-2019 indicate various building maintenance issues, including problems with plumbing work and a defective boiler, though those violations are now resolved. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations during the specified periods. Recent inspections for April 2025 resulted in a passed rodent inspection, though this follows a pattern of previous rat activity records. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services such as heat, water, and pest control, with particular attention needed to address both open violations and recurring service issues.
