2255 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10453

The 68-unit building at 2255 Grand Concourse, owned by Ved Parkash, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months (2024-2025) that merit attention. The 6-story, 1936-class A building has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water throughout the entire building, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025, some resulting in violations. Plumbing issues have also been documented, including radiator problems in January 2025 and a heavy water leak in April 2025.

More concerning, there is an active construction lead dust complaint from February 2025 and structural concerns related to temporary shoring installed during facade work, which generated multiple violations in early 2025 regarding compromised unit occupancy and public safety. The building has a history of pest issues, with documented rodent activity in 2024 and 2025, and an infestation reported in apartment 4M that required multiple violations to address. Bedbug reports show sporadic infestations in the past four years, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) indicating one infested unit that was eradicated.

Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2024-2025 highlight several construction safety and compliance issues, including problems with scaffolding, access to safety equipment, and structural monitoring requirements. While some violations have been resolved, several remain active as of now. The building's maintenance history shows attempts to address various issues, but access problems during inspections and recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
