1401 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10452

The 60-unit, 5-story building at 1401 Grand Concourse in Mount Eden, dating back to 1923, has experienced significant infrastructure and maintenance challenges in recent months. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with the building's heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints documented in May 2025, though these were reportedly resolved during inspections. The property has also faced persistent building maintenance challenges, including multiple violations for interior conditions such as paint/plaster issues, plumbing problems, and lighting concerns.

A December 2024 inspection revealed serious violations in Apartment 2G, including problems with heating, water leaks, and both rodent and mold infestations. The building's exterior and systems have been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations in recent years. Notable issues include structural concerns with the masonry facade (both active and previously resolved ECB violations), access problems with heating systems, and unauthorized construction work in the basement area. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some passing inspections but also instances of rat activity noted in 2023-2024.

The property's heating system has been a recurring focus of both 311 complaints and DOB violations, particularly regarding access issues during inspections. The property management has shown some responsiveness to violations, with several cases being marked as resolved, though some recent complaints from 2025 remain open. The building has been consistently filing bedbug reports showing no infestations between 2020-2024, and the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. However, the high number of recent complaints and violations raises concerns about the overall maintenance and management of the building, particularly regarding heating systems and building access for inspections.
