2558 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10458

The 43-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2558 Grand Concourse, owned by Yecheskel Geller and built in 1924, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most recently, there have been recurring issues with ceiling paint/plaster conditions and mold, with multiple HPD complaints in 2025 resulting in both violations and emergency responses. The building has also faced persistent water-related problems, evidenced by several complaints between 2024 and 2025, including heavy flow leaks and damp spots, some of which resulted in violations requiring correction.

Heating system issues were particularly notable in late 2024, with complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting either the entire building or specific apartments, though inspections confirmed restoration in some cases. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of multiple simultaneous issues, particularly in 2024-2025, including violations related to ceiling conditions, water leaks, and mold. Apartment C has been the subject of several specific Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2024, including issues with mold, water leaks, and heating systems.

The property experienced multiple emergency situations requiring HPD intervention. Earlier records from 2021-2022 indicated electrical safety concerns, resulting in various Department of Buildings violations and ECB fines related to exposed wiring and other electrical issues. However, more recent filings show improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent annual reports (2019-2025) and passed rodent inspections in 2024-2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in late 2024.
