1049 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10452

The 5-story, 36-unit building at 1049 Grand Concourse, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Anton Popovic, has experienced numerous maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there is an active emergency water leak complaint from April 2025, and several other concerning conditions have emerged, including mold, pest infestations, and electrical issues. The property has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple leak complaints recorded in early 2025, as well as sanitary issues such as mold and pest infestations resulting in violations.

The building underwent an inspection in October 2024 which revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2D, including issues with the smoke detector, floor repair, pest infestations (roaches and mice), window problems, and safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors. While these violations were mostly certified as corrected by November 2024, there is one open violation regarding an inoperable fire escape window gate. The building's infrastructure appears to be facing ongoing challenges, with recent rodent activity consistently documented through multiple inspections from 2024 to 2025, showing persistent rat activity despite bait application efforts.

Notable historical violations include three active Energy Efficiency-related violations from 2019, 2021, and 2023 regarding the display of energy efficiency scores, as well as a gas utility referral complaint from 2022 where access was not granted for inspection. The property has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five years. While the building has seen some improvements with the closing of many violations, the recurring nature of water issues, pest problems, and most recently, an unresolved water leak complaint, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
