1197 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10452

1197 Grand Concourse is a 5-story, 58-unit residential building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by ICP GRAND CONCOURSE LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in May 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, as well as plumbing problems involving sinks and issues with both refrigerator and range appliances. While some of these complaints resulted in violations that require correction, others were found not to violate housing laws.

The building has a documented history of pest problems, notably with multiple violations issued in late 2024 regarding infestations in apartments 4I and 2F, and in March 2024 concerning issues with apartment 1B. The building's maintenance record shows recurring concerns with its systems and infrastructure, including several active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019, 2020, and 2022. Historical data reveals past violations for unauthorized apartment modifications and illegal conversions, as well as issues with self-closing doors in public areas.

Despite these challenges, the property has generally maintained its rodent inspection requirements, with most recent inspections passing, though there was a finding of rat activity in December 2022. The building's bedbug history shows minimal impact, with only one infested unit reported in 2022, and all subsequent reports indicating no ongoing issues. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance inspections over the years, with several violations being resolved through proper remediation, though some inspections have shown recurring issues with hot water supply, pest infestations, and other maintenance concerns.
