425 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451

The 26-story, 277-unit residential building at 425 Grand Concourse in Mott Haven, completed in 2020 and currently owned by Maria Almanzar, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2024, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2025 remaining open as of this report. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded through HPD, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has also faced ventilation system problems, with violations issued in July 2024, and during the same period, there were concerns regarding pests, flooring conditions, and air quality.

Notable safety-related incidents include emergency complaints in August 2024 regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's construction phase (2021) saw several worker safety complaints, though inspections generally found no violations, and there was one instance of a stop-work order being rescinded. While there have been bedbug reports in the past three years (2022-2025), the most recent report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infested units, following one eradicating unit in 2022-2023 and one in 2021-2022. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and construction-related work, with multiple permits issued between 2021 and 2022 for new building (NB), equipment (EQ), and other related work.

Earlier complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms and construction safety were investigated in 2021 and 2024, with inspectors finding no violations in most cases. A 2018 violation related to stabilizing a retaining wall was dismissed in 2019. The property has consistently maintained communication with regulatory agencies, though some inspection requests have required tenants to provide access for verification. The most pressing current concern appears to be the ongoing heat and hot water system issues, which have affected multiple tenants of both recent vintage and the building as a whole.
