2235 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The two-family house at 2235 Grand Avenue in University Heights, owned by Christopher Patterson, is a 2-story building constructed in 1901. The property has experienced recurring utility challenges over the past several years, with notable electrical issues including two power outages in 2021 and 2020, and one incident of inadequate lighting in 2020. A significant heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building was reported in February 2021, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

While no violations were issued in relation to these incidents, they suggest recurring infrastructure challenges. The building's rodent inspection history shows both progress and ongoing concerns. Most recent inspections in 2025 revealed rat activity, following a pattern of fluctuating results regarding rodent presence.

In 2024, there were instances of rat activity in both January (failed inspection) and March (compliance inspection). However, between 2022 and 2023, the building generally passed several rodent inspections, indicating some periods of improved pest control. The property has consistently undergone regular inspections, with most recent results showing a mix of passed and failed inspections for various reasons, including rat activity and other unspecified factors. The combination of utility issues and rodent presence suggests attention to building maintenance and infrastructure systems may be required, though recent years have shown some periods of compliance with city regulations.
