1294 Grant Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456

1294 Grant Avenue is a 5-story, 43-unit residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Robert Ruiz. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These heating-related complaints generated emergency housing maintenance code complaints and resulted in several violations, including inadequate heat supply and locked access to the building's heating system.

Specific apartments, particularly 4A and 5I, have been cited for multiple maintenance issues, including problems with windows, doors, and fire safety equipment. The building's heating problems appear to be ongoing, with additional complaints recorded through early 2025, though many were subsequently indicated as corrected. A bedbug infestation was reported in December 2024 in one unit, marking the first such occurrence in several years, while previous reports (2019) documented three units affected but noted successful eradication.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed between 2022 and 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures in place. Recent inspections related to tenant safety and elevator service have noted compliance, with no violations recorded for local law inspections in 2025. A violation related to energy use benchmarking from 2022 was dismissed after confirmation of submission. The building's maintenance records indicate a pattern of heating system-related complaints and violations throughout late 2024 and early 2025, which appears to be the most significant ongoing issue affecting resident comfort and safety.
