977 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456
The 56-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 977 Grant Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by David Gunsberg, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heating systems. Between December 2024 and early 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water service requests, with HPD investigating conditions in both apartment and building-wide complaints.
The building has also undergone significant maintenance challenges as evidenced by repeated emergency service requests in 2025, including problems with water leaks, flooring, and ceiling issues. Recent inspections and violations highlight ongoing safety and maintenance concerns, including multiple instances of "rat activity" reported between 2024 and 2025, though this pattern appears to show some improvement with fewer active inspections in 2025.
The building has faced security-related violations during 2024-2025, including issues with building entrance doors, while several maintenance code violations from October 2024 related to public areas were subsequently addressed. Historical records show persistent access issues during inspections for various complaints, including concerns about illegal conversions and work without permits in 2021-2022, though these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being substantiated. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported incidents in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.
