1362 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10456

The six-story, 41-unit building at 1362 Grand Concourse in Claremont Village, owned by Marylan Blau, was constructed in 1924 as a New Law Tenement and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. In December 2024, the building faced multiple heat and hot water service complaints that were confirmed as building-wide issues, though inspectors noted that heat and hot water were restored during their investigations.

The building currently has open violations related to its fire escape ladders, requiring proper shoe installation on the first and second fire escapes from the north at the west exterior wall. Apartment 41, which has had multiple violations in 2023, is particularly concerning; it has active citations for lead-based paint hazards, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and needs various repairs to address deterioration, including multiple paint-related violations and floor repairs.

The property has a history of heating system problems, as evidenced by the December 2024 service requests and violations. Other notable issues include findings of lead paint hazards and safety equipment concerns in apartment 41 (2023), an Environmental Control Board violation regarding occupancy contrary to certificate of occupancy in 2020 (relating to an illegal nail salon operation), and a history of unauthorized renovations observed in 2020. While the building has maintained compliance in terms of bedbug reporting (showing no infestations reported between 2021-2024), recent rodent inspections in 2025 show a failed result for "Other Reasons." The property has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements and failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation.
