1700 Crotona Park East, Bronx, NY 10460

1700 Crotona Park East is a 6-story, 102-unit New Law Tenement apartment building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Crotona Estates H.d.f.c., Inc. The building has experienced several recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in March 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate service affecting both individual apartments and the entire building - though these issues were confirmed as resolved upon inspection. In August 2024, significant violations were recorded for Apartment 5T, including reports of water leaks, pest infestation (mice), flooring issues, and various maintenance needs including window repairs and faucet leaks.

The building's elevator systems have been a persistent concern, with multiple violations issued between 2019 and 2024, including an active ECB violation from January 2023 regarding out-of-service status. The property has also demonstrated recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the frequent filing of HPD service requests in 2025, including issues with doors, windows, flooring, and mailboxes. Notably, there was a series of heat and hot water complaints in early 2025.

A water leak problem affecting the public hall ceiling on the 5th story was identified as an open violation in August 2024. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained an active record of passing rodent inspections since 2011 (with one exception in August 2011), and recent bedbug reports from 2021-2025 show minimal infestation activity. The building has also received multiple permits for various maintenance and repair work between 2018 and 2023, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building needs.
