1666 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1666 Grand Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Morris Heights, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by 1666 Grand Avenue LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, most notably a recent environmental violation issued in December 2023 regarding severe building disrepair, including multi-step cracks, decaying mortar, spalling bricks, and evidence of water infiltration potentially affecting structural stability, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings (most recently in December 2024) show no infested units, with the most recent report indicating properly managed conditions. There have been multiple complaints and violations in recent years concerning building safety systems, including four complaints in early 2024 related to egress issues and work without permits, though inspections did not warrant violations at that time.

The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2016 and 2025, demonstrating effective pest management practices. Historical violations include recurring issues with front entrance lighting documented in 2002, 2004, 2012, and 1989, as well as several maintenance violations in 1989 regarding defective paving and improperly functioning self-closing doors in the boiler room. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges over the years, recent inspections suggest improved conditions, particularly regarding pest control, though the December 2023 structural violation indicates ongoing building maintenance concerns that should be monitored.
