2265 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2265 Grand Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit residential building located in University Heights, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The building has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns emerging in 2025. Between March and May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including plumbing problems, floor conditions, and paint/plaster concerns, though many of these inspections could not be completed due to access issues. Specifically, violations were issued in May 2025 for ceiling paint issues, while other complaints during this period relate to walls, windows, and various appliances.

The most recent June 2025 inspections revealed problematic conditions, including mold, cabinet issues, and problems with flooring and pests. The building was inspected in late 2024, resulting in several violations that were subsequently closed, including issues with bathroom paint in Apartment 4C, door repairs, and a water leak affecting the 4th-floor landing ceiling. Historical records show that the building has maintained an active approach to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2019. However, rodent activity has been a recurring concern, particularly in 2023-2024, with inspections showing both rat activity and successful bait applications.

The building's violation history indicates previous concerns with door security, water leaks, and various maintenance issues, all of which were addressed and closed. Significant structural and safety improvements were required, including repairs to self-closing doors, water damage remediation, and mold abatement. The property has a record of both emergency and non-emergency violations, with some requiring immediate attention while others provided a timeline for corrections. Regular inspections in 2024-2025 have shown ongoing maintenance needs, though the building has passed recent rodent inspections as of March 2025.
