2499 Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468
The five-story, 46-unit tenement building at 2499 Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Rick Herman and built in 1922, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. In early 2025, there were multiple complaints (March) regarding electrical lighting problems, window frames, cabinet issues, plumbing (basin/sink), and wall (paint/plaster) concerns, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their inspections.
The building has also faced several water-related problems, with violations and repairs needed for leaks affecting both Apartment 1C and the roof over Apartment 5B during 2024. Notable housing maintenance code violations from August 2024 include broken glass panes at the building entrance and staircase windows, while other violations from July 2024 involve various repair requirements in Apartment 1C, including water leak abatement and plaster surface repairs. The property has shown some maintenance responsiveness, as evidenced by closed violations and service requests, including a successfully resolved door frame issue and an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests from early 2025.
The building's historical bedbug reporting records from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections (2022-2024) have generally passed, with some bait application noted in 2021-2022. However, there remains an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention is required for basic systems and infrastructure, though many recent complaints appear to have originated from difficulties in obtaining access for inspections rather than immediate health or safety concerns.
