1565 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10452

1565 Grand Concourse is a 58-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, most recently documented in December 2024, with multiple complaints from both individual apartments and the entire building. During this period, ten heat/hot water complaints were filed, all of which were subsequently closed, often with tenants reporting that the issues were resolved before inspections could be conducted.

The building has also encountered maintenance challenges, including an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores, and various housing maintenance code violations in 2024. These include a C-class violation related to a broken entrance door glass pane and two separate C-class violations concerning pest infestations (roaches and mice) in Apartment 43A. Recent inspections and service records indicate ongoing pest control issues, with multiple rodent activity detections in 2024 and 2025, including an initial inspection result for rat activity in June 2025.

The building's management has conducted several bait applications throughout 2024 to address the rodent situation. Additionally, there have been infrastructure concerns, particularly with building entry doors, as evidenced by C-class violations regarding defective self-closing doors and closer devices in mid-2024. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record in its annual filings since 2019, the persistent heating system problems and rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property underwent recent inspection for water leaks in June 2025, with a slow leak violation noted.
