1636 Taylor Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-unit residential building at 1636 Taylor Avenue in Van Nest, owned by Jeffrey Yalan, has experienced several maintenance issues in 2025, particularly in February when multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing problems (including bathtubs/showers and toilets), heat and hot water issues, door/windown problems, flooring concerns, water leaks, and pest infestations. Most notably, there were multiple attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to conduct inspections that met with access issues, though one water leak complaint resulted in an inspection that issued no violations.

Earlier records show significant violations from December 2019 in Apartment 1, including issues with a defective bell and buzzer system, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and problems with carbon monoxide detectors, though these were generally marked as closed. Two more recent violations from September 2019 regarding missing doors on bathroom and kitchen sink cabinets in Apartment 1STFLO remain open as of November 2020.

The building's heating system appears to be a recurring issue, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in February 2025, though one apartment's hot water was confirmed as restored during an inspection. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent passed inspection in November 2024, though there were two failed inspections in 2011 and 2012 for "Other Reasons."
