2237 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 12-unit, 2-story building at 2237 Grand Avenue in University Heights, owned by Moshe Toiv, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control challenges since 2020. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related issues, with the latest inspection in July 2025 indicating rat activity, following a March 2025 inspection that had previously passed.

The building has also faced significant electrical infrastructure problems, particularly during June 2020, when multiple complaints about power outages and lack of lighting were reported as emergencies. A concerning pattern of violations emerged in 2020, when inspections documented issues including mold in the second-story community bathroom, defective wooden stair treads, and window frame problems, though these violations were subsequently closed. Recent building administration matters include three active violations regarding external low pressure inspection filings for 2022 and 2023, which remain unresolved as of September 2024.

The property has maintained a record of proper bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filings indicating no infestation cases between 2022-2023, although multiple annual notices regarding bedbug report filings requirements were issued between 2020-2024. The building underwent significant scrutiny of its rodent control measures, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 yielding varying results from "Passed" to "Rat Activity." These inspections continue to occur regularly, indicating ongoing management attention to pest control issues. In 2018, the building received several permits for work including electrical and plumbing modifications, suggesting efforts to maintain and upgrade building systems.
