1274 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-unit residential building at 1274 Grant Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Eale Robinson, has been under scrutiny throughout 2023 and 2024 for several instances of unpermitted work, particularly within an occupied multiple dwelling context. Between April 2023 and October 2024, there were five complaints filed regarding work conducted without proper permits, with four of these complaints ultimately being closed without any violations being found at the time of inspection.

One of these complaints from January 2024 resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and another complaint from April 2023 also warranted an Oath Violation. Despite these compliance issues, no bedbug infestations were reported in the building during the mandatory reporting periods of November 2021-October 2022, and November 2022-October 2023, with records showing zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no reports of re-infestation.

The building, constructed in 2003, has maintained its status as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, and while the frequency of complaints regarding unpermitted work suggests ongoing maintenance or modification activity, the lack of violations found during inspections may indicate these works were either temporary or not posing significant safety concerns. The most recent complaint from October 2024 was inspected the same day it was filed and was closed without any warranted violations. Given the consistent pattern of complaints in 2024, totaling three complaints between March and October, this issue appears to be a relatively recent development in the building's maintenance history.
