1517 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460
The 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1517 Taylor Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Jay Schein and containing 30 units, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, during early 2025 (February-March), the building faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations including problems with plumbing (toilet and bathtub/shower), mold, wall conditions, pests, and appliance issues, particularly involving a refrigerator. A similar situation occurred in April 2025 with a mold complaint, though inspectors found no violations during their inspection.
The building's history shows recurring accessibility concerns, with various emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues being addressed through 311 complaints and housing code violations. Earlier records from December 2024 inspection revealed violations in apartments 1 and 27, including mouse infestations, mold issues, and various maintenance problems such as defective doors and windows. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny in the past regarding its Certificate of Occupancy status, with multiple violations in 2018 relating to unpermitted occupancy as a shelter, though these were subsequently resolved.
More recently, there are active pollution violations regarding an external low-pressure inspection from June 2023. While the building has maintained records of passing rodent inspections in recent years, previous inspections showed inconsistent results between 2016-2017, indicating historical pest management challenges. Bedbug inspections from 2021-2025 show no reported infestations, though regular monitoring as part of the city's requirements has been maintained with zero infestation counts reported.
