1721 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
1721 Grand Avenue is a 6-story, 79-unit residential building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Michael Laub. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, including multiple 311 complaints about smoking violations in smoke-free areas (June 2025), broken window guards (May 2025), and various maintenance complaints in April and May 2025 including problems with walls, ceilings, floors, and water leaks. There were also three separate heat/hot water complaints for the entire building in March 2025, though these were subsequently resolved according to HPD records.
The building underwent an investigation in December 2024 that revealed multiple violations in apartment 1M related to pest control, safety equipment, and maintenance issues, including broken floor tiles and an infestation of mice and roaches, though most of these violations were certified as resolved by early 2025. The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with several emergency service requests in 2025 including plumbing issues with steam pipes/riser (June 2025) and a broken window guard (May 2025). Historical records show past problem areas including an active violation from December 2022 regarding the display of energy efficiency scores, and various maintenance code violations were documented between 2018 and 2020 related to the building's heating system, elevator maintenance, and exterior wall conditions. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing no violations, though there were some failures noted in previous inspections between 2020 and 2024.
The property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past seven reporting periods from 2018 to 2025, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in any unit. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, many of these issues appear to be addressed promptly through HPD inspections and repairs. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, and historical violations related to heating systems and safety equipment have generally been resolved. However, the pattern of recent complaints regarding smoking violations and window safety concerns suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident compliance with building policies.
