1631 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1631 Taylor Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Ndrec Robi and classified as a New Law Tenement. The most pressing recent concerns involve recurring heat and hot water issues, with two separate emergency complaints in late 2023 (December and November), and violations related to inadequate heating in apartment 6 and a locked boiler room door from November 2023. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years (2025, 2024, and 2023 filings), consistently recording zero infested units during the specified periods.

While there were significant maintenance issues in 2023, including heat-related problems, the property has generally maintained a passing record in rodent inspections since 2021, with the exception of a failed inspection in December 2011. The property's violation history shows various maintenance issues needing attention over the years. Notable problems included a broken window sash in apartment 6 (2018), defective plaster surfaces in the same apartment (2023), and historical bedbug reporting non-compliance issues in 2021 and 2022, which have since been resolved.

As of July 2025, there remains an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file a 2020 external low-pressure inspection. The HPD has responded to heat and hot water complaints, with varying outcomes in their inspections, including one instance in November 2023 where they could not gain apartment access for inspection. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, though recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate no current infestations or major pest problems.
