1375 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10452

The 6-story, 57-unit apartment building at 1375 Grand Concourse, owned by Aaron Bauer and built in 1923, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are currently multiple open emergency complaints as of June 2025, including issues with water leaks (heavy flow), electric range appliances, interior ceiling conditions, inappropriate flooring, electrical lighting problems, and various door/window problems.

The building has demonstrated persistent infrastructure issues, with documented rat activity throughout 2024-2025 (11 inspections showing activity), facade maintenance violations with step cracks and damaged mortar joints resulting in a $2,500 penalty, and ongoing lead paint and mold concerns. The fourth floor apartment (4D) has been the focus of multiple violations regarding safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), lead paint hazards, and interior surface conditions, including windows requiring repairs or replacements and the presence of mold. Recent HPD inspections from April 2025 noted violations related to window frames, electrical ranges, door frames, and an unsanitary mold condition, while earlier complaints from 2024-2025 showed recurring issues with building systems and maintenance.

The building has also faced structural concerns as evidenced by DOB violations regarding facade maintenance, including emergency work orders for facade repairs issued in July 2024. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all recent reports showing zero infested units. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices, with some being classified as "C" or "B" violations under the Housing Maintenance Code, though many have been subsequently closed or complied with within the specified timeframes.
