2005 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The five-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement at 2005 Grand Avenue in Morris Heights, built in 1925 and owned by Shimon Greisman, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to water problems and building infrastructure. Between early 2023 and 2024, there were multiple reports of water leaks (both slow and heavy), flooring issues, and paint/plaster problems, with some instances resulting in violations being issued.

The building's maintenance record shows particular concentration of issues during 2023-2024, with four separate complaints about flooring problems and three about water leaks occurring in 2024 alone. More recently, in August 2024, violations were cited regarding broken window sash counter balances at both the 3rd story north and south sections, along with encumbrances in the public hall and bicycles at the south section bulkhead. The building has a history of pest control challenges, though recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show only one instance of infestation in late 2020, with all cases having been resolved according to subsequent reports.

The property underwent a concerning inspection in 2018 showing deteriorating marble stair treads and structural concerns, and there was a failure to file a mandatory energy benchmarking report in 2023, though this was later dismissed as not being applicable to the building. Recent rodent inspections, while showing occasional rat activity in October 2024, have mostly resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no violations. The building's maintenance pattern illustrates ongoing challenges with water management and building systems, with the most recent violations in 2024 focusing on window and access issues.
