2917 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10468

2917 Grand Concourse is a 5-story, 56-unit residential building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by John Kiely. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints reported between January and June 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues were generally resolved promptly, but indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has received multiple violations in Apartment 1CN as of October 2024, including problems with window balances, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and waste line issues, along with indications of pest infestations including roaches and mice.

The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity still presents a concern, despite some compliance passes. The property's historical compliance records reveal consistent issues with filing required inspections and reports, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2020, and annual boiler inspections from 2017 through 2020. While most of these violations were ultimately dismissed, their repeated nature suggests some administrative oversight challenges. The building's bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 indicate no infestations during the reporting periods, though there were indications of mold and pest issues as recently as early 2025.

The building has also had complaints about various conditions including unsanitary conditions, flooring problems, and plaster issues, though many of these complaints were either unable to be inspected or resulted in violations that required correction within a specified timeframe. The property has undergone several inspections and investigations by multiple agencies, including the Department of Buildings and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with varying outcomes. While some issues have been addressed through compliance actions and violations, the recurring nature of certain problems—particularly regarding building systems like heat/hot water and pest control—suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect the resident experience. The combination of recent heating system issues, ongoing rodent activity, and various maintenance violations suggests that while some improvements have been made, challenges with building systems and general maintenance persist as of 2025.
