2471 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 42-unit, 6-story NEW LAW TENEMENT at 2471 Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, built in 1928 and currently owned by Jacob Eisenstein, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple recent incidents involving water leaks, damp spots, and mold conditions, with particularly concerning patterns observed in June 2025 when multiple complaints were filed and required HPD intervention. The building has also faced repeated indoor air quality concerns, including chemical vapors and odors, documented between March and May 2025.

These current issues follow a series of violations from late 2024, when problems with refuse accumulation, door functionality, and public hall conditions were identified and subsequently corrected. The property has maintained an active history of pest control efforts, with regular rodent inspections showing consistent rat activity between 2022 and 2025, though bait was applied during several inspections. While there was one reported bedbug infestation in 2021-2022, subsequent surveys from 2022 to 2025 show zero infested units.

The building's elevator service has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021-2022, though inspections did not warrant violations. Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2021 regarding unperformed inspections and energy efficiency display requirements. The persistent nature of recent water-related issues and mold conditions, along with ongoing rodent problems, suggests potential challenges in building maintenance and resident comfort, though many previous violations have been addressed through compliance actions.
