1304 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10456

The 41-unit, 5-story building at 1304 Grand Concourse in Claremont Village, owned by David Diamond and built in 1923, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene discovered unsanitary conditions related to a dog on the property, requiring follow-up inspections.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints in December 2024 and October 2022, though these were subsequently resolved. There was a cluster of maintenance complaints in April 2024 involving paint/plaster issues and water leaks, and in August 2023, two appliance-related complaints were filed, with violations issued for refrigerator problems. The building's systems and safety features have required attention, including violations related to fire escape obstructions due to air conditioner installations on both the 3rd and 5th-floor balconies in June 2024, and concerns about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in January 2024.

Notably, two new permits were issued in 2022 and 2023 for unspecified work. The property has maintained an active bedbug management program, with no reported infestations since 2029, and while there was some rat activity reported in June 2022 and June 2025, the most recent inspections in July 2025 and December 2024 passed successfully. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of resolving issues through official inspections, though some violations, particularly regarding fire escape access and safety systems, suggest ongoing attention to building systems is required.
