3045 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

The 6-story, 54-unit residential building at 3045 Grand Concourse in Norwood, owned by Ezriel Weinberger, has faced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Throughout 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to heat and hot water outages impacting entire sections of the building, with several incidents requiring HPD intervention between January and April 2025. Additionally, the building experienced significant pest and unsanitary conditions earlier in the year, with documented infestations in multiple apartments, including severe issues in Apartment A2 involving mold, water leaks, and various vermin (mice, cockroaches, and water bugs) between late 2024 and early 2025.

The building's history includes several inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in October 2024. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with several Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2018 and 2025, including issues with lead paint hazards and the failure to properly maintain common areas. Environmental Control Board violations from 2019-2020 indicated lapses in notifying tenants about construction rights and safety requirements, though these have been marked as resolved.

The building's mechanical systems came under examination in 2018, when complaints about the boiler prompted a Department of Buildings inspection, though no violations were found at that time. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases in the last six filing periods, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The persistent nature of the heat/hot water issues and the magnitude of the pest problems in early 2025 are particularly concerning from a resident comfort and safety perspective, though many of these complaints have been previously closed by HPD or marked as passed upon re-inspection.
