1916 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 1916 Crotona Avenue, owned by 1916 Persaud Realty Inc., has been experiencing ongoing electrical issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints documented regarding wiring problems and lighting outages. As of May 2025, there remains an open complaint regarding no lighting in the building, marking the latest in a series of electrical incidents that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has been unable to fully investigate due to access issues. More significantly, there are three active ECB violations from November 2024 related to dangerous electrical conditions in Apartment 1, including double lugging at the main lugs, improper phase connections, and an unpermitted circuit breaker panel installation, with penalties totaling $3,290.
The building has faced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, including two documented heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in February 2025, though these were reportedly resolved during HPD's response. Previous violations show a pattern of maintenance challenges, with problems including leaky faucets, heating system access issues, and various building code violations documented between late 2024 and 2025. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures in recent inspections, there have been recurring rat activity reports between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance.
The property has conducted regular bedbug reporting with no infestations reported in the last three filing periods from 2021 to 2024. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, particularly in 2019, suggesting past concerns with unauthorized work and electrical systems. Multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring defects in 2024-2025, as well as issues with boiler operation in 2022, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Between late 2024 and early 2025, multiple violations were recorded regarding improper encumbrances in public areas and various maintenance needs in common spaces, though these violations were subsequently closed.
