1342 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472
The three-story, three-unit building at 1342 Taylor Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Alexandros Kontopoulos, has documented numerous maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025) with particular concentration in 2024. The property has faced recurring problems with appliances, particularly refrigerators and electric ranges, along with electrical wiring concerns. A significant number of inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in 2024 were met with access denial, while several inspections conducted between July and September 2024 found no violations for door/window issues or paint/plaster problems.
The building has had multiple violations issued to Apartment 1R in 2024, including peeling paint in the bathroom and foyer, defective door self-closing mechanisms, broken sink drain connections in the kitchen, and inadequate gas supply to the kitchen range, with some violations remaining open as of 2024. The property's maintenance history shows a persistent pest control challenge, particularly in 2023 where an active roach infestation was documented in Apartment 1R, though recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestations. Rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2023 indicating rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown compliance.
Earlier records from 2018 show two unsuccessful inspection attempts for building permit-related complaints. The most recent bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 shows zero infested units, suggesting some improvement in pest control outcomes. The building, constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement, has demonstrated a pattern of maintenance challenges typical of older residential buildings, particularly regarding timely access for inspections and persistent issues with various systems and appliances.
