2625 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

2625 Grand Concourse is a 6-story, 39-unit residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Ved Parkash. The property has experienced significant and recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints in both March and May 2025.

The building's infrastructure has faced challenges, including power outages (both building-wide and in individual units), plumbing issues, and an electrical inspection failure in May 2025. Numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in late 2024, including deficiencies related to hot water supply, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and mold presence in various apartments (notably in 3D and 6A). The building's elevator service has been problematic, with multiple complaints throughout 2024-2025 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, leading to violations being issued.

The property has also faced façade and exterior maintenance challenges, with several Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2024 regarding cracked bricks, spalling mortar joints, and other exterior defects. Rodent activity has been consistently documented, with multiple inspections showing evidence of rat presence between 2020 and 2024. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to annual reporting requirements, the overall pattern of persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and water, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. Recent inspections indicate some responsiveness to violations, with many being marked as "Closed" after corrections, though there remain some active concerns including a December 2024 violation regarding rusted cables that carries a penalty of $625.
