1007 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 20-unit, five-story New Law Tenement building at 1007 Grant Avenue, owned by Grand Concourse East Hdfc, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between May and June 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues throughout the building, with at least six separate incidents resulting in violations being issued. The building also currently has several open violations from a September 2024 inspection relating to damaged fire retardant material at various floor landings, and specific apartment issues including problems with a bathroom ceiling in unit 12A, a fire exit door lock in unit 2, and a kitchen sink countertop in unit 1.

Of particular concern is an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2024 regarding leaking tubes on the boiler with an associated penalty of $625. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with recent inspections in 2025 showing both bait application and rat activity, though a July 2025 inspection resulted in bait being applied. A series of 311 complaints in April 2025 indicated building stability concerns, and there have been two active "Failure to Maintain" complaints in 2025. The building also shows ongoing plumbing systems challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

Despite these issues, the building has no reported bedbug infestations in the past two years, according to the city's bedbug reporting system. The property, which dates back to 1914, has undergone various inspections and complaints over the years, with the most significant recent focus on heat/hot water systems, rodent control, and various maintenance violations. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections, many current violations remain active, particularly regarding fire safety materials and heating systems. The building's 2023 records include an active DOB violation for failure to file a required external low-pressure inspection, and an ECB violation from 2021 regarding exterior concrete maintenance, though the penalty for this violation appears to be marked as $0.
