1684 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The three-story, 10-unit building at 1684 Grand Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Eli Fisher and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency door-related complaints between 2024 and 2025, with at least four instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection.

These door issues led to violations, including a November 2024 citation for a broken or defective mortise lock on the building entrance door. The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, as evidenced by a January 2025 heat/hot water complaint that was reportedly resolved, and persistent pest problems, with two separate unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in 2024 and additional violations for mice and cockroach infestations in Apartment 1A. Other significant issues include stairway maintenance concerns, as noted in a October 2024 complaint, and various maintenance violations documented in early 2024, including defective plaster surfaces, water leak issues, and broken window glass in Apartment 1A.

While the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections since 2017, indicating some level of proactive pest management, there remains an open violation from 2024 regarding a heavy-duty lock at the building entrance. The property has consistently filed annual bedbug reports since 2020 showing zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. Recent building permit activity in 2019-2020 shows multiple permits issued, though specifics on these permits were not detailed in the provided data.
