1177 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1177 Grant Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1935 and currently owned by Joseph Malakov. The property has experienced ongoing heating and water supply issues, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint in late 2024 affecting the entire building, though it was reported resolved upon inspection. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented between late 2023 and 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in February 2025 passed.

The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 2, including issues with water leaks, mold, peeling paint, a leaking shower head, and a defective window. There is also an active structural concern as of May 2025 regarding a compromised retaining wall at the rear of the property, requiring immediate professional attention and construction work. The building's history shows recurring heating system problems, particularly during late 2018 through early 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water in apartments, though inspectors often could not gain access to verify the conditions.

While bedbug reports have been consistently filed since 2019, all reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero infested units. Two recent Department of Buildings complaints from 2023 and 2025 regarding failure to maintain property conditions resulted in violations being served, and there has been at least one Environmental Control Board violation issued in 2023 related to failure to comply with a DOB commissioner's order. The building has undergone regular inspections for rodent activity, with various compliance and baiting actions taken between 2023 and 2025, indicating ongoing pest management efforts.
