515 Concord Avenue, Bronx, NY 10455

515 Concord Avenue, a 3-unit, 3-story tenement building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Maria Nieves, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The building faced multiple heating and hot water problems in late 2022, with at least four separate complaints between December 5-30, including violations related to inadequate heat supply and the need for repairs to heating systems. Electrical issues were also prominent during this period, with three separate power outage complaints in December 2022, though no violations were issued upon inspection.

More recent concerns include unresolved safety issues from January 2023 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which HPD was unable to access the building to inspect. As of 2024, the building has two active Class B violations from late 2022 pertaining to Apartment 2 (located on the second story) regarding defective plaster surfaces, missing smoke detector, and missing carbon monoxide detector. The building's maintenance history shows consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections between 2010 and 2023.

While there have been annual bedbug reports filed between 2020-2024 showing no infestations in any unit, the building did experience a cockroach infestation issue in late 2022 requiring attention, though records indicate it was addressed by January 2023. The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 indicates no infested units during the reporting period of November 2022 to October 2023. The building has maintained consistent rodent control measures, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, 2017, and most recently in 2023, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.
