2081 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10453

2081 Grand Concourse is a 5-story, 43-unit residential building constructed in 1922 in the Fordham neighborhood, currently owned by Nandranie Deonarain. In recent months (March 2025), the building has experienced multiple heating and hot water system issues affecting the entire building, with at least nine separate complaints filed within a short period. Additionally, there was a safety-related complaint in March 2025 regarding a broken or missing window guard, though this was investigated and found not to violate housing laws.

The building has faced several environmental challenges, with documented pest infestations in apartment 1D in late 2024 (including mice and roaches) and multiple violations issued in 2024-2025 concerning maintenance of safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a mixed record over the past few years, with three active violations pending as of late 2023/early 2024: one regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection and another concerning energy benchmarking reporting requirements. There have also been documented rodent activity issues throughout 2023, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat activity, though recent inspections (2024-2025) have shown improvements with 'Passed' results.

The building's management has faced scrutiny over various maintenance issues, with violations related to peeling paint requirements in apartments 6C and 8D being addressed in late 2024. While the building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), the pest control records show previous incidents in 2019-2020. The property has experienced historical compliance issues, as evidenced by complaints about window AC unit support brackets (2023) and other maintenance matters, though many of these violations have been subsequently closed.
