2815 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

The 47-unit residential building at 2815 Grand Concourse in Fordham, owned by Shimmon Greisman and built in 1921, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building has had multiple complaints and violations related to paint/plaster damage, water leaks, and plumbing problems, with particular clusters of issues emerging in April-May 2025.

Notable violations include inadequate heat/hot water conditions, water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and ceiling damage, some of which resulted in HPD violations. Apartment B4 has been the subject of multiple violations from late 2024, including issues with floor tiles, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, mold, and various structural and safety concerns, though these were certified as corrected by December 2024. More alarming is the recent discovery of unauthorized construction in the building, with an active ECB violation from June 2024 alleging the existence of illegal Class "A" apartments and 6 "B" rooms in the basement, though access was denied during inspection attempts.

The property has also faced ongoing challenges with pest control, including reported bedbug infestations in 2022-2024, though no infestations were reported in the most recent 2023-2024 period. Rodent control has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2019 and 2022, though more recent inspections in 2023-2024 have passed. The building's maintenance history shows a mixed record, with some violations being promptly resolved while others reveal ongoing maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
