2781 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

2781 Grand Concourse is a 5-story, 54-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Carlos Hernandez. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues recently, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In early 2025, three plumbing-related emergencies were reported and closed promptly.

The building has several open violations from December 2024, primarily located in apartment E7, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Apartment A's basement unit had multiple violations noted in January 2024, including issues with pest infestations (roaches and flies), mold, bathroom repairs, and various maintenance concerns, though many of these were subsequently closed out by March 2024. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent years, with no reported infestations between 2019 and 2024.

However, there have been several rodent inspections, with mixed results; while the most recent inspection in November 2024 passed, earlier inspections in 2024 showed rat activity, and compliance failures were noted in 2022. Historical records show two Department of Buildings complaints from 2018 and 2021 regarding boiler issues and permits, though no violations were warranted upon inspection. The building received an electrical worker (EW) permit in August 2023, indicating some maintenance activity. The persistent nature of the heating and maintenance issues, particularly during winter months, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though many recent complaints have been addressed and closed promptly by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
