2426 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2426 Grand Avenue is a 16-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in University Heights, built in 1912 and currently owned by Morty Yashar. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in early 2025, including multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), door/window problems, and issues with walls/paint. A significant cluster of complaints was filed in March 2025, resulting in violations that require the owner to address these conditions within specified timeframes.

The building's history shows ongoing challenges with pest control, though recent rodent inspections (as of May 2025) have consistently passed, suggesting some improvements in this area. The property has maintained a clean bedbug report record since 2019, with no infested units reported in annual filings. Notable violations from 2024 include issues in Apartment 2, requiring multiple floor repairs and addressing rodent/roach infestations, and in Apartment 41, concerning a defective self-closing door. An older violation from 2018 related to a rooftop door issue was resolved with a $100 penalty.

Multiple 311 service requests between March and April 2025 resulted in various inspections, with some violations noted for pests, mold, and flooring issues. The building's management has shown efforts to address violations, as evidenced by the consistent passing of recent rodent inspections and the resolution of some previously noted issues. The most recent inspections have generally passed, though there remain open violations from 2024 that require attention. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, recent patterns suggest improved compliance with inspection requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent control measures.
