1626 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

1626 Taylor Avenue is a 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Israel Frankel. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in December 2024, the entire building experienced heat and hot water problems, resulting in violations, and there were also window frame issues requiring attention.

Earlier complaints from December 2022 included multiple violations related to plumbing (sink and toilet), flooring, and heat problems. The building's first-floor apartment (Apartment 1) has documented issues that were addressed through violation notices in 2024, including problems with heating, hot water, plumbing fixtures, and pest control needs (specifically regarding roaches and mice infestations). Additional violations were noted in February 2024 concerning fire safety requirements for the bulkhead door.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency repairs, with the property undergoing various inspections and requiring compliance corrections over time. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in December 2022), the property has documented recurring issues with heating systems, plumbing fixtures, and general maintenance needs. The owner has generally responded to violations through required certified corrections, though there have been instances of emergency complaints regarding basic services like heat and hot water that affect tenant quality of life.
