1742 Fillmore Street, Bronx, NY 10460

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 1742 Fillmore Street in Van Nest, owned by Elizabeth Fabian, has exhibited several concerning maintenance patterns over recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing issue with untimely bedbug reporting, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

In March 2022, the building experienced multiple maintenance complaints across various categories, including plumbing (radiator), electrical (lighting), door/window issues, flooring concerns, and cabinet problems. Unfortunately, all these complaints, categorized as both emergency and non-emergency, were closed without inspection due to access issues.

While the building passed a rodent inspection in December 2022, there remains an open violation from April 2024 regarding the bedbug reporting requirement, suggesting continued non-compliance with this particular maintenance obligation. The property, constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement, has a documented history of material maintenance issues, though some improvements appear to have been made, as evidenced by the lack of identical complaints in subsequent years. The clustering of complaints in March 2022 suggests a period of significant maintenance challenges, though it is worth noting that several of these complaints were either non-emergency in nature or related to issues that may not directly impact safety, such as wall paint/plaster concerns and cabinet problems.
