1233 Elder Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1233 Elder Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Veejai Rajaram. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being water-related problems. Since October 2023, there have been multiple complaints about heavy water leaks affecting both ceilings and walls, with some of these issues remaining unresolved as of mid-2024.

The building has also faced recurring rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though bait was applied in late 2024. In 2023, there was a power outage incident, and historical records from 2019 show concerns about cooking gas and heating systems affecting the entire building. The most recent inspection in June 2024 revealed multiple open violations, including issues with required safety notices and inspections, such as the need to post gas leak procedures, maintain smoke detector requirements, and display various safety certificates.

There are also violations related to door self-closing mechanisms. A specific building maintenance issue noted in October 2024 involves a leaking roof affecting the ceiling in a second-floor apartment. Despite the numerous complaints and violations, many HPD inspections have found no violations in relation to the reported issues, leading to their closure. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by the closure of numerous service requests, though some concerns are still awaiting resolution as of the most recent records.
