2200 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 2200 Grand Avenue building in University Heights is a 6-story, 49-unit apartment building constructed in 1932 and currently managed by 2200 Grand LLC. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns revolving around unsanitary conditions, including mold problems. As of July 2025, there is an open emergency mold complaint, and a previous mold complaint from April 2025 resulted in violations requiring remediation.

The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints in March 2025, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. Additional maintenance concerns have been documented, including rodent activity (with multiple inspections showing rat presence from 2024-2025), plumbing issues, and various appliance problems. The building's facade and exterior maintenance has been a notable focus of regulatory attention, with multiple active Environmental Control Board violations related to facade conditions, including spalling bricks and missing stucco.

There are also outstanding violations regarding elevator and boiler maintenance. The property has shown a pattern of not promptly addressing building inspection requirements, particularly regarding facade reports and safety measures. While the building has not had reported bedbug infestations since 2019, the recent rodent activity and ongoing maintenance violations suggest persistent challenges with property upkeep. The building's violation history shows a mix of Class A, B, and C violations, with some being resolved through certification but with multiple active penalties remaining as of 2025.
