2020 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2020 Grand Avenue is a 6-story, 55-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by David Diamond. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably recurring problems with heat and hot water systems during the winter months between late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints recorded for both apartment-specific and building-wide outages. More recently, in May 2025, there was a complaint regarding unsanitary mold conditions (which HPD was unable to inspect) and earlier in April 2025, multiple inspection requests concerning ceiling issues and floor conditions were investigated but found not to violate housing laws.

The building has undergone several maintenance inspections and has numerous open and closed violations, particularly in apartments 3C, 4G, and 6I. Apartment 6I has violations from August 2024 regarding kitchen floor repairs, window glass replacement, and ceiling/wall painting requirements, while apartment 3C had issues with roach infestation and water leaks in mid-2024. In 2024, the property had a particularly concerning pattern of heating system complaints, though these were generally resolved promptly when reported.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2023 regarding service issues and lack of alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations. The building has maintained a good record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug cases in the past three years and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2015 through 2025. There have been two recent permits issued for the property in 2022 and 2023 related to unspecified work, which remains active.
