1451 Edison Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

1451 Edison Avenue is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Schuylerville and built in 1930, currently owned by Christina Balsamo. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints and violations regarding building systems and conditions. Most recently, in September 2023, there were complaints about wall conditions, pest issues, and bell/buzzer/intercom problems, though no violations were found in this inspection.

The building is currently facing four open Class A violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and one open Class B violation regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system at Apartment 1. Previous notable issues include a May 2022 episode where multiple violations were recorded for Apartment 1, including problems with pest infestation (mice), a defective electric outlet, and missing carbon monoxide detectors, though these were subsequently closed in December 2022. The property has a documented history of elevator system problems, with multiple complaints about the bell/buzzer/intercom system in both 2022 and 2023.

In 2022, there was also a Department of Buildings complaint regarding the boiler, which was resolved through an Oath violation. Two Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2022 related to boiler key access requirements and occupancy issues involving an excessive construction supply storage violation. The building's maintenance record shows regular pest inspections being passed in 2013 and 2019, and most of the complaints filed with HPD were addressed through inspections, though not all inspections were conducted due to access issues. As of July 2025, the building shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues focusing on building systems and pest control, with a particular concentration of problems related to the intercom system and pest management.
