1916 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10457

The 50-unit, 5-story building at 1916 Grand Concourse in Mount Hope, owned by Brooke Morgan and built in 1922, has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concerning building-wide conditions. In 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest issues, along with problems with windows and wall maintenance, though housing inspectors were often unable to gain access for inspections. There have been recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with both building-wide and apartment-specific complaints.

The building's 5th-floor apartment 5I has documented maintenance issues including mold problems, window frame concerns, and violations related to wall conditions, for which Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued. Earlier issues include structural stability concerns in December 2023 (though no violations were found), and a 2022 boiler violation that resulted in a $500 penalty related to water cut-off drainage issues. The property has a mixed history with pest control, showing fluctuations in bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2024, though recent reports from 2024-2025 show no current infestations.

While rodent inspections have generally shown compliance with passing results in recent years, there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2024. The building underwent various maintenance inspections in late 2024 that resulted in multiple violations, though most of these were subsequently closed. A permit was issued in September 2023 for unspecified work, and the property has maintained active compliance with routine safety inspections for the most part, though access issues have prevented thorough inspections of several recent complaints.
