2531B Grand Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The three-story residential building at 2531B Grand Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Henoarca Azad, has faced persistent maintenance challenges since its construction in 2004. The property has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with documented violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug report filing.

Of particular concern are significant moisture and sanitation issues documented in late 2021, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated unsanitary conditions and found extensive mold problems in Apartment 1, affecting multiple areas including hallways, bathrooms, and walls, with some areas measuring up to 30 square feet. The building also had documented water leak issues in the same apartment during this period. Recent rodent activity has been confirmed in 2024, with both May and July inspections showing rat presence, though previous inspections dating back to 2015-2018 consistently passed the rodent inspections.

This marks a concerning trend in pest management. The property's documented issues suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance with city housing regulations, particularly regarding mold remediation and pest control adherence. The building's relatively recent construction date of 2004 places it among newer residential structures in the area, but the maintenance history indicates persistent environmental challenges affecting at least one of the three units.
