1467 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 30-unit, 5-story tenement building at 1467 Taylor Avenue in Parkchester, built in 1930, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with particular attention needed to plumbing systems and building safety features. From January 2025 through May 2025, the building faced multiple plumbing-related problems, including water leaks, water supply issues, and concerns with heat/hot water systems, some of which were classified as emergencies. A cluster of complaints from June 2024 involving apartment 11 indicated significant maintenance challenges, including issues with water supply, plumbing fixtures, and safety equipment.

The building has also had recent problems with its intercom system, with violations issued in both 2024 and 2025 regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom equipment. The property has undergone several inspections and the housing department issued multiple violations that were subsequently closed, including a carbon monoxide detector violation and various plumbing-related issues. Notably, the building's maintenance record shows consistent reporting periods for bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2024 with zero infested units recorded each time.

Rodent inspections conducted between 2011 and 2022 generally showed compliance, with one failure in 2011, but all subsequent inspections from 2016 through 2022 passed. While the building has a substantial track record of addressing violations once cited, the recent pattern of complaints and violations, particularly concerning basic services like water supply and safety systems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring. The property's bedbug and rodent control history shows effective management of these particular pest issues, with no reported infestations in recent years.
