1245 Bradford Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 7-unit, 3-story building at 1245 Bradford Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Albert Deluca, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant recent problems occurring in early 2025 involving painter/plaster and electrical issues that led to HPD violations. Since 2022, there have been multiple window-related problems, particularly affecting apartment 3B, including issues with window frames, sashes, and spring balances that were documented during inspections in June 2022 and September 2023.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including water leaks, wall and ceiling damage, and an intercom system failure that generated multiple service requests and violations between 2022 and 2025. Notably, there's currently an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.

Despite these maintenance concerns, the building's bedbug and rodent inspections records show no infestation or infestation recovery cases since at least 2019, with the most recent bedbug reports (2024) indicating zero infested units. While many of the recent HPD violations have been addressed or closed, the history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly affecting the third floor and common systems. The building was constructed in 1978 and is classified as a "New Law Tenement," indicating it was built before the Rent Stabilization Law was enacted.
