2538 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

This 8-unit, 4-story Class A residential building at 2538 Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, constructed in 2016 and currently owned by Vilson Lumaj, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. The most pressing concern has been heating system problems, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat affecting the entire building, most recently documented in February 2025 and January 2024, as well as similar issues in 2018 and 2020.

The building has also faced water supply challenges, particularly noted in July 2024 when violations were issued regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply in apartment 3DEF. There were significant building systems concerns addressed in 2024, including violations related to self-closing doors and a broken glass pane at the main entrance, along with a water leak in the first-floor public hall. Pest control has been an ongoing concern, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests between 2020 and 2023, though inspections did not result in violations.

The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug management, with all recent filings (2022-2025) indicating no infested units. While rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent May 2024 inspection passing, there were some failures noted in December 2022. The building's maintenance history shows regular interaction with housing authorities, particularly the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with most complaints being addressed and closed, though some recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
