1473 Crotona Place, Bronx, NY 10456

The three-story, two-family house at 1473 Crotona Place in Claremont Village, owned by Roman Galvan, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 1994. Most notably, a cluster of problems emerged between 2019-2020, including multiple complaints about cabinets (June 2019, August 2019, November 2019, and January 2020), electric/gas ranges (October 2019 and November 2019), and an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage situation (August 2019).

During this period, there were also violations noted for mold, wall conditions, door frame issues, and various other maintenance matters. The most serious violations appear to be from 2019-2020, including reported pest infestations (rodents and roaches) in the second-floor apartment, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2018 passed. As of March 2020, multiple Open Class A violations were issued, specifically concerning repairs needed in the second-floor bathroom and kitchen, including defective plastered surfaces, ceiling repairs, wood floor issues, and cabinet door problems.

Recent records from 2024 and 2023 show no bedbug infestations reported in the building, and the 2022 rodent inspection also passed. While there were significant maintenance issues in the past, including multiple HPD complaints and violations, the most recent years indicate improved conditions, with no new complaints or violations registered since 2020. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing and closing out complaints, though some maintenance issues persisted through 2020, and many violations remain listed as open in the 2020 records.
