1136 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1136 Grant Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Grant 1136 LLC, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with window guards, with three separate emergency complaints reported in early 2024, though no violations were ultimately issued. The most significant recent issues were documented in March 2024, when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 6, including water leaks affecting multiple locations (ceiling and walls in kitchen, foyer, and various window frames), visible mold near a window frame, and broken plastered surfaces.

These violations were certified as corrected by May 2024. The building has a history of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests noted between late 2022 and early 2023, for which violations were issued. A concerning pattern of rat activity has emerged in inspections conducted between 2023 and 2025, with most inspections failing to meet compliance standards.

Additional maintenance issues have included a defective cabinet (2022), flooring concerns, and problems with an electric/gas range. The property has also faced structural and safety concerns, with violations recorded in 2024 relating to roof leaks on the third story and a missing or defective self-closing vestibule door on the first story. While the building underwent boiler-related inspections and received certain repair orders in 2021, these issues appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by permit issuance in December 2021 and subsequent work completion. Regular bedbug reporting shows consistent reporting of 0 infested units since 2020, suggesting effective pest control measures in this regard.
