1895 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10453

The 21-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 1895 Grand Concourse in Mount Hope, built in 1916 and currently owned by Michael Goldstein, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple violations related to water leaks, mold, appliance issues, and ceiling problems, with violations issued that require the owner to make corrections. Earlier in 2025, multiple complaints regarding various conditions including flooring, cabinets, and windows were filed, though inspections were not completed for these issues.

The building has ongoing problems with mold, as evidenced by violations in 2024, and has failed several rodent inspections, with rat activity documented in both February and July 2025, following previous failures in July 2022 and March 2022. The property has a history of safety-related violations, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2024, particularly in Apartments 2 and 3. Several complaints regarding building systems were filed, including a 2025 gas utility referral and multiple boiler-related complaints between 2020-2023, though some inspections were unable to gain access.

The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2018 related to boiler room maintenance that remains active with a $2,500 penalty. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, the building's overall maintenance record shows recurring problems with basic systems and safety equipment that affect resident comfort and safety. The most recent inspection results indicate continued challenges with vermin control, as highlighted by the failed rodent inspection in July 2025, which represents an ongoing public health concern.
