1694 Nelson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453
The 5-story, 2-unit residential building at 1694 Nelson Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Shimshon Grunstein, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past 18 months. Most concerning are three recent open complaints filed in June 2025 with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), a door issue, and problems with the electric/gas range.
These follow a pattern of access-related inspection challenges, as seen in multiple earlier complaints from early 2025 and early 2024 regarding doors, sewage, and heat/hot water problems where HPD inspectors were unable to access the units for proper evaluation. The building has had several emergency maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly between January and March 2024, including problems with heat/hot water and cooking gas.
While there were two construction safety compliance actions in early 2023 that resulted in Oath Violations being served, one stop work order was fully rescinded by June 2023. Recent inspections in early 2024 related to tracking compliance and illegal conversion complaints did not result in any violations. Notably, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), with no units recorded as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.
