2322 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building at 2322 Grand Avenue in University Heights, owned by Michael Rubin and constructed in 1922, has experienced ongoing HVAC and maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been three separate heat and hot water incidents in early 2025 affecting the entire building, with the most recent occurring in March 2025. The building has also faced significant water-related issues in September 2024, with complaints about heavy flow and damp spots, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

A cluster of complaints in August-September 2024 raised various maintenance concerns including unsanitary conditions (pests), issues with cabinets, walls, floors, and appliances, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's documented history shows persistent pest control challenges, with multiple violations recorded between 2023-2024 for cockroaches and mice infestations in apartments E1 and E4. The property has been subject to regular rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, consistently showing rat activity, with bait application required multiple times.

The building's maintenance history reveals specific violations that have been addressed, including mold removal requirements in apartment E4, heating system access problems, and various interior maintenance issues. While the property has maintained its bedbug-free status according to annual reports since 2020, the recurring nature of heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent violations, including multiple heat and hot water complaints and rodent infestation concerns, indicate that while some issues have been resolved through HPD intervention, others persistently recur or require repeat complaints for resolution.
