Located in Parkchester, 1451 Taylor Avenue is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The building has experienced recurring issues with paint and plaster maintenance, particularly in ceilings and walls, with multiple complaints registered in both 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about ceiling and wall conditions, though HPD inspections found no violations.

Apartment 4 has been a focal point for violations, with documented issues including roach infestation, plaster damage, and paint maintenance requirements. The building has faced significant mechanical and safety concerns in recent years.

In April 2024, there was a violation related to the boiler system regarding missing safety components, and in late 2023, violations were recorded for window A/C units improperly installed in fire escape windows, resulting in a $500 penalty. This building's environmental and structural maintenance history shows a pattern of paint and plaster issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, though recent records from 2022-2025 show zero infestations of bedbugs and successful rodent inspections. The property has demonstrated some improvement in pest management, with recent bedbug reports showing no affected units from 2019 onwards, and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2012 through 2022. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is needed for various repair and upkeep issues, particularly regarding interior surfaces and mechanical systems.
