1684 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10457

1684 Grand Concourse, a 6-story, 79-unit residential building constructed in 1923, is currently facing several maintenance and safety concerns under the ownership of Jessica Rivera. As of June 2025, the property has an open emergency door-related complaint, while recent rodent activity has been consistently documented, with inspections showing rat activity in both 2024 and 2025.

The building has experienced multiple water-related issues, with violations noted for both heavy flow and damp spot leaks in March 2025, and previous violations in late 2024 regarding multiple water leaks affecting the building's infrastructure. A significant number of violations related to building systems and safety devices have been recorded, including issues with electrical systems (both wiring and outlet problems), ceiling paint/plaster condition, and floor maintenance. In addition to these ongoing maintenance issues, the building has several active Department of Buildings violations, including concerns about the exterior facade and fire escape maintenance.

A notably concerning pattern emerged regarding the building's safety systems, with violations documented in late 2024 for defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 4B. The property's management has faced challenges in addressing past violations, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspection reports showing persistent rat activity throughout 2024 and 2025, despite bait application efforts. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the last occurrence documented in 2021, the building's overall maintenance record exhibits a pattern of recurring issues that suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
