1060 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1060 Grant Avenue, a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement built in 1908 in Concourse Village, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most significant current concerns, as of late 2024, involve multiple emergency violations including problems with building safety features such as fire escapes, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical wiring. There are also active ECB violations from 2024 related to building maintenance, specifically regarding a corroded metal cornice that has penetrations and deteriorating fire escape landings, along with previous violations concerning missing cornice sections leaving the building exposed to the elements.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and dampness between 2023-2024, including a specific incident of mold in a bathroom in Apartment 2. Heating and hot water systems have been problematic, with several complaints between 2021-2022 suggesting building-wide deficiencies. The property has experienced persistent pest and sanitation challenges, with multiple 311 service requests and violations for unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, particularly in 2024.

There have been documented rodent activity issues throughout 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 indicate some improvement. Historical records show structural concerns, including two building shaking/structural stability complaints in 2018 and 2022, both resulting in violations. The most recent inspection in April 2025 passed for rodent activity, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years. The building's owner, Mayer Kaufman, has received multiple violations and citations related to various maintenance issues, though many have been addressed and closed according to inspection records.
