1960 Williamsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10461

The six-story, 60-unit residential building at 1960 Williamsbridge Road in Morris Park, owned by Grace Taylor and constructed in 1961, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with at least eight documented complaints between January and April 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has shown a concerning pattern of heat-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints requiring intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More positively, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), though there were significant infestations documented in 2018-2020 with records showing multiple affected units during those periods.

The building's maintenance history reveals several areas of concern. In early 2024, violations were issued regarding defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 2D. There were multiple elevator service issues documented between 2019 and 2021, with three complaints specifically about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," though inspections generally found no violations at the time.

Various building-wide and apartment-specific violations were recorded between 2023-2024, including issues with door hardware, self-closing doors, and damaged plaster surfaces. The building has undergone periodic rodent inspections between 2018-2023, with some failures noted, particularly in 2018 and 2021, though a passing result was recorded in January 2023. Moreover, multiple building-wide heating system complaints were logged through 311 services between December 2024 and April 2025, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. The Department of Buildings issued violations in late 2021 relating to door locks and monitoring systems, with penalties imposed though these were later resolved.
