2294 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2294 Grand Avenue, a 50-unit, 5-story building constructed in 1923 in University Heights and currently owned by Shelley Standish, has experienced recurring issues with its heating system over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2025 alone, with reports affecting the entire building as well as individual apartments. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, though recent inspections have shown no violations, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past three years.

The Department of Buildings has documented various violations between 2018 and 2023, including issues with emergency lighting, fire safety systems, and a leaking water heater observed in 2023 that remains listed as active with a $625 penalty. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of heating system problems, with both building-wide and apartment-specific heating complaints being the most frequent type of service requests. There have been three significant heating system violations recorded in 2022-2023, including inadequate heat supply to a specific apartment and problems with boiler room access. The property has consistently failed to maintain proper emergency lighting systems, with violations noted in both 2018 and 2029.

While the building's bedbug report filings show zero infestations from 2021 to 2025, there have been consistent rodent-related issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2023-2024, though recent inspections in early 2025 passed compliance checks. The building's energy management compliance has also been a recurring issue, with multiple violations registered for failure to file benchmarking reports between 2018 and 2021, though most have been dismissed after payment. Recent inspections in early 2025 have shown no violations for electrical and construction standards. The property has maintained a regular inspection schedule, including semi-annual homeless shelter inspections, with most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing no significant violations, though there was a service violation recorded in September 2023.
