1678 Crotona Park East, Bronx, NY 10460
The 62-unit, 6-story apartment building at 1678 Crotona Park East, owned by Peter Volandes, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding heating system reliability. In May 2025 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with tenants reporting the issue persisted through multiple complaints between April and May 2025.
The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with a Department of Health inspection in May 2025 indicating access issues for inspectors, and multiple rat activity reports between 2018 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in passing compliance. The property has multiple open violations and historic issues affecting resident safety and comfort. As of July 2025, there are active violations related to façade safety (LL11/98) filed in 2023, including a $6,250 penalty for failing to file an acceptable amended Cycle 9B report regarding unsafe conditions.
Building inspections in 2024 revealed various maintenance issues, including an ongoing violation from July 2024 regarding a cracked parapet wall, as well as multiple safety equipment deficiencies in apartment 6K such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and evidence of pest infestation including roaches. Other notable concerns include historical elevator maintenance issues, with an active violation from 2019 regarding failure to correct defects, and various water-related problems including plumbing violations in 2024. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting period from 2018 through 2024 showing zero reported infestations, the combination of heating system failures, rodent issues, and multiple open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident quality of life.
