2555 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

The 5-story, 24-unit residential building at 2555 Grand Concourse in Fordham, owned by Tony Huang and built in 1919, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly in 2025. There have been multiple heating and hot water issues affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed in January and March 2025. The building has also faced ongoing plumbing problems, including water supply issues, and sanitation concerns with rodent and pest infestations.

Most notably, there is an active Class C violation from August 2024 regarding illegal double cylinder key-operated locking devices, along with pest infestation violations specifically citing roaches and rats in apartment 2E. The building's infrastructure issues are further evidenced by numerous HPD complaints in early 2025, including a January complaint about missing signage and problems with the janitorial services. Rodent activity has been a persistent problem, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat presence throughout 2024 and 2025, despite some baiting attempts.

The Department of Buildings has investigated complaints about illegal hotel rooms and conversions in early 2024, though no violations were confirmed at the time of inspection. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases since 2020. Recent renovations or repairs include two permits issued in 2018 and 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the available records. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, though some issues have been addressed or closed through inspection processes.
