1334 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The two-story, two-unit building at 1334 Taylor Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Phyllis Gager and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable incidents over the past decade. Most recently, the building successfully passed a rodent inspection in July 2023, following a failed inspection in May of the same year. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting compliance record since 2021, with no reported infestations or eradications in any of the six annual reports submitted between 2021 and 2025.

While the building has generally passed its rodent inspections since 2018, there were two concerning patterns in 2010 with documented rat activity during inspections in September and October. Significant Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in May 2019, focusing primarily on safety and compliance issues in common areas, including a loose scuttle ladder, a defective fire-retardant wall, and multiple requirements related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices. These violations were classified as either Class A or Class B, indicating varying degrees of severity.

The property has undergone annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2025, with the most recent report (filed in May 2025) indicating no infestation activity during the 2023-2024 reporting period. A rodent sighting was reported in August 2021, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection. The building's history shows a mixture of maintenance compliance and violations, with most recent inspections generally indicating improved conditions, particularly regarding pest management and bedbug reporting compliance.
