1113 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1113 Grant Avenue is a 6-story, 68-unit residential building located in Concourse Village, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Sandra Erickson. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with ten separate complaints filed between March and May 2025, though inspections generally found these problems had been resolved, with one exception in May where access for inspection was not granted. The building faces several significant concerns as of 2025, including multiple outstanding violations from December 2024 in Apartment 4D related to pest infestations (mice and roaches), bathroom leaks, and defective plastering. Additional notable recent issues include four electrical wiring complaints in June 2025 that resulted in Oath Violations being served, and a related boiler violation from July 2021 regarding defective components and maintenance issues, though this appears to have been resolved.

The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with evidence of bedbug infestations in previous years (particularly in 2020 with four units affected), though recent filings from 2022-2024 show no active infestations. There have been consistent rat activity reports in 2024, with two initial inspections failing, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's maintenance history includes multiple housing code violations requiring attention to lead paint hazard compliance in multiple units (3A, 3C, B2, C1, 5CC) during 2021, and various repairs needed to address interior conditions. While some violations have been resolved through proper certification of repairs, including recent heating system corrections, the frequency of heat/hot water complaints and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance protocols.

The building has undergone periodic safety inspections with varying results, including tenant safety inspections in 2025 showing no violations at times of inspection. Two Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2024-2025 were completed with no violations warranting enforcement action. However, the frequency of heating system issues and additional maintenance concerns, such as the recently identified electrical wiring violations and outstanding pest control issues, indicate areas requiring ongoing attention. The property has also experienced some administrative issues, as evidenced by a penalty for failure to file benchmarking reports in 2024, though this violation was subsequently dismissed.
