1189 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

As of July 2025, 1189 Grant Avenue, a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 2005 and owned by Lendy Polanco, has experienced significant recurring issues primarily affecting the third-floor apartment. The most pressing current concerns, documented in May 2025, involve open complaints regarding plumbing problems with basins/sinks and cabinet issues.

Between March and April 2025, multiple code violations were issued, including unsanitary pest conditions, wall maintenance issues, and water leak concerns. Of particular note are the ongoing rodent infestation problems, with multiple inspections from 2024 through 2025 consistently showing rat activity, despite regular bait applications. The building has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of late 2024, primarily affecting apartment 3, including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), missing safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and plumbing issues with defective kitchen sink faucets.

An October 2024 Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding failure to comply with a DOB Commissioner's order, with a penalty of $2,530. The property has also required frequent rodent control measures, with 2025 inspections showing continued rat activity despite bait applications. While some complaints from earlier periods were resolved, such as barriers regarding pests and safety concerns, many current issues remain open and unresolved as of mid-2025.
