893 Crotona Park North, Bronx, NY 10460

The 36-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 893 Crotona Park North, owned by Lum Pelinkovic, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during 2025. The building has shown multiple problems with water-related issues, including slow leaks and damp spots, as evidenced by multiple HPD service requests in April 2025. There have also been several complaints regarding heat and hot water system failures, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with three separate incidents reported between February and March 2025.

Building inspections and complaint responses have often been hindered by access issues, with HPD unable to complete inspections for multiple complaints, including those related to water leaks, mold, plumbing issues, and flooring problems. The building's recent history shows several significant maintenance concerns, including an accumulation of violations noted during a September 2024 inspection of apartments 2F and 4C. These violations included problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom fixtures, and general cleanliness issues.

While there have been various complaints about rodent activity, including recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero documented bedbug infestations across multiple annual reporting periods. The property has also experienced some administrative issues, including a delayed submission of the 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation in April 2023, though this violation was ultimately dismissed. The building's recent maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with aging systems and infrastructure, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, though many of the most recent complaints have been marked as resolved, typically due to owner responses or lack of access for inspections.
