1371 Ellison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1371 Ellison Avenue is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Schuylerville, constructed in 1947 and currently owned by Andrew Gormally. The building has experienced several significant compliance issues over recent years, most notably regarding lead paint safety documentation. In 2022, violations were recorded in Apartments 2R and 3F related to failure to properly certify compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements during unit vacancy, while a September 2022 violation remained open concerning the failure to provide required lead-related records and another regarding inadequate notification to occupants about lead paint hazards in the basement area.

The building has also faced challenges with its annual bedbug reporting requirements, receiving multiple violations in 2022-2024 for failing to file timely reports, though recent filings indicate 0 infested units for the 2023-2024 period. Additional concerns include multiple open violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2018-2022, and in January 2024, there was a complaint about work without a permit that resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access to the unit. The property has maintained some positive compliance records, passing rodent inspections in 2009 and 2019.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no current infestation issues, suggesting recent improvements in pest control management. Despite these violations, it's worth noting that none of the open violations appear to directly impact tenant safety; however, they do indicate ongoing historical challenges with regulatory compliance. The building's documented history shows a pattern of improvement over time, with more recent violations being addressed more promptly than in previous years when there were multiple simultaneous open violations.
