2516 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 57-unit, 5-story building at 2516 Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, currently owned by James Marley, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there have been numerous complaints about elevator service between 2021 and 2025, including three violations this year regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" and a September 2023 ECB violation for non-working firemen service operation with a $1250 penalty. The building has also faced recurring water and heat problems, with emergency complaints filed in 2022 regarding heat/hot water issues (which HPD could not inspect) and water leaks/damp spots.

Several unsanitary conditions were reported in 2022, including multiple mold incidents, pest infestations, chemical vapors, and garbage storage issues, though most were resolved or closed without violations. The building has undergone various repairs, as evidenced by housing maintenance code violations from 2022-2023, including bathroom repairs in apartments 302 and 504, and both elevator and general building maintenance issues. Bedbug reports show a pattern of infestation with two reported cases in 2020-2021 and one in 2021-2022, though the most recent reports from 2022-2024 indicate no active infestations.

The building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024. While the property has had multiple maintenance issues, including a 2020 violation regarding a corroded flue pipe and various repair needs, most violations appear to have been addressed and closed, with the exception of ongoing elevator service concerns. The most recent records show some improvements, with no reported pest infestations or bedbug cases in the past two years, and the building successfully passing recent rodent inspections.
