1820 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10457
The 29-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 1820 Grand Concourse in Mount Hope, owned by Jorge Ruiz, has encountered several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between April and June 2025, there were multiple attempts by HPD to inspect various complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, as well as issues with electrical outlets/switches, plumbing fixtures, flooring, and doors/windows. Recent health and safety inspections in 2025 have revealed ongoing concerns, with June 2025 inspections showing violations related to unsanitary conditions involving animals, though these inspections were completed.
The building has also experienced persistent rodent issues, with four rodent inspection failures recorded between 2024-2025, and multiple complaints about pest infestations. The property has documented structural and safety concerns, including an open violation from February 2024 regarding a defective fire escape on the 5th story, and another open violation concerning external mortar issues. Earlier violations from 2023-2024 included emergency maintenance issues related to water leaks and window problems. The building has undergone several inspections and received various emergency and non-emergency maintenance code violations, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2025.
A notable structural concern was reported in February 2024 regarding building shaking/vibrating. The building had one documented case of bedbug infestation in 2019-2020, though subsequent annual reports since 2020 have shown no further infestations. A sidewalk shed with expired permits from 2024-2025 has generated additional attention from the Department of Buildings. While some violations have been resolved, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
