2477 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468
The five-story, 30-unit tenement building at 2477 Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Bashkim Celaj, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most concerning are the ongoing problems with the fire escape system, with multiple violations recorded in 2024 showing defective drop ladders and safety concerns that remain partially unresolved, including an open Class B violation related to fire escape defects as of June 2024. The building has a troubling history of heat and hot water outages, with complaints recorded in 2020 (February, June, and December), 2022 (December), and most recently in 2023, with some instances requiring emergency HPD intervention.
In April 2024, a safety-related complaint about the fire escape was filed and closed after inspection. The building has also faced periodic plumbing issues, including problems with sinks, bathtubs, and door/frame concerns in January 2023, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being found. Recent inspections and service requests paint a picture of ongoing pest management challenges, particularly with rodent activity evident throughout 2024, as shown by multiple inspection results indicating "Rat Activity" and bait application between May 2024 and April 2025.
The Department of Buildings has indicated an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. While the building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs since 2019, the recent rodent issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and hygiene. The property has a mix of open and closed violations, with 2024 inspections revealing both simple administrative issues (such as the requirement to post housing information guides) and more serious safety concerns that continue to affect resident conditions.
