1661 Tillotson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10469

The two-family residence at 1661 Tillotson Avenue in Baychester, owned by Mozella Cole, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over the past three years. Most recently, in March 2023, a rodent-related violation was documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, marking the property's second such violation in six months, following an October 2022 complaint.

Earlier in 2023, there were concerning issues related to both heating/hot water and cooking gas that prompted emergency interventions from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though one of these complaints could not be fully investigated due to access issues. During September 2022, multiple appliance-related concerns were reported and subsequently investigated, including problems with the refrigerator and electric/gas range, as well as a plumbing issue involving a toilet—though no violations were found in these cases. The building's history also includes two documented rodent-related incidents (October 2022 and March 2023), suggesting ongoing pest control challenges.

A July 2023 permit-related complaint was logged with the Department of Buildings, though inspection access was not granted for this particular case. While some issues have been addressed and closed out through proper inspections, the recurring nature of the rodent-related complaints and the emergency situations regarding heating/hot water and gas systems warrant attention to the building's maintenance history. It's worth noting that many of the complaints were responded to and investigated, though not all violations were substantiated or accessible for inspection.
