1350 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-unit, two-story building at 1350 Taylor Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Narine Hardial, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly with heat and hot water systems. Between February 2023 and August 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages, four of which were classified as emergency situations. The building has also faced several other maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (no lighting), plumbing problems (sink/basin), and appliance concerns, though inspections typically found no violations warranting further action.

The property has outstanding violations from 2022 and 2023 that require attention, including failure to file annual bedbug reports, inadequate posting of gas leak procedures, and various heating and security concerns. Specific violations include the need to paint a radiator in apartment 1L, provide adequate heating in apartment 1L, and remove illegally installed double-cylinder locks at both the building entrance and front yard gate. While recent rodent inspections from 2016 through 2023 have generally passed (with only one failure in 2010 for "Other Reasons"), the building also faced scrutiny in 2021 and 2022 for allegations of illegal conversion and work without proper permits, though these complaints were ultimately found to have no violations warranting further action.

The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly relating to heat and hot water, which constitutes the majority of tenant complaints. While many complaints resulted in prompt inspections and repairs, the recurring nature of the heat and hot water issues indicates a potential ongoing maintenance challenge. Recent complaints regarding an electric/gas range also suggest that not all appliance issues have been fully resolved, though inspections typically find no violations.
