1814 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10457

The five-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building at 1814 Grand Concourse in Mount Hope, owned by Bheem Ramnarase and constructed in 1912, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints and violations recorded in April and May of this year, some of which remain unresolved or were not properly inspected. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with a cluster of violations documented in February 2024 in apartment 7, including the presence of mold, water leaks, inadequate heat supply, and various maintenance issues including problems with plaster surfaces and door hardware.

Additional concerns include two active DOB violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections (2021 and 2023) and multiple failed rodent inspections in 2023-2025, indicating ongoing pest control challenges. The building's recent history shows persistent issues with basic services and maintenance, particularly regarding heating systems, with multiple duplicate complaints indicating a building-wide problem. While there have been some compliance inspections that passed, the pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2025 suggests this remains a critical infrastructure challenge.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since at least 2021, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four filing periods. Two complaints from 2023-2024 regarding illegal conversion and work without permits were resolved without violations, though access issues were noted in one case. The building has undergone some permitted work between 2018-2021, though specific details of the work performed are not listed in the available data.
