1728 Crotona Park East, Bronx, NY 10460

1728 Crotona Park East is a 5-story, 29-unit residential tenement building located in East Morrisania, built in 1915 and currently owned by Sheila Dotson. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between January and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some issues were reported as resolved after inspections or phone confirmations, several complaints noted inspectors' inability to access units for verification.

The building currently has multiple open violations from late 2024, including concerns in Apartment 2E regarding defective self-closing doors and leaky kitchen faucets, and in Apartment 1B involving floor damage and pest infestation. Apartment 3C has several open violations related to door repairs and deficiencies in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a documented history of pest management challenges, with rodent activity reported during inspections in 2024 (August and July), and a series of apartment violations concerning self-closing doors, security, and safety equipment in recent months.

While no bedbug incidents have been reported in the past three years, the building's maintenance history shows persistent issues requiring attention. The Department of Buildings records indicate an active permit application from December 2019, which is still listed as "In Process" as of the latest available data. The building's age and class as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it is subject to specific regulatory requirements that govern building maintenance and tenant rights.
