2081 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The three-unit, three-story building at 2081 Crotona Avenue in Tremont, built in 2009 and owned by Jose Del Rosario, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the areas of plumbing and building systems. Between late 2024 and mid-2025, there were multiple service requests regarding plumbing problems, including sewage issues, water leaks, and toilet problems, all of which resulted in HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

Additionally, there were complaints about heat/hot water systems and an electric/gas range during the same period, though one heat/hot water issue from November 2024 was reportedly resolved over the phone. The building has also faced some significant violations, including three open violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and three violations from November 2021 concerning inadequate hot water supply and gas supply to the stove in Apartment 1, as well as an access issue with the heating system door. Looking at the building's history, there have been consistent rodent inspection passes from 2019 through 2025, indicating no rodent infestation concerns.

The building underwent some inspection-related activities in 2023-2024, including a July 2023 complaint about illegal work/no permit/change in occupancy use, which resulted in no violations found at the time of inspection. Similarly, a July 2018 complaint about an illegal curb cut/driveway issue was also dismissed upon inspection. While there are currently no active violations listed in the Department of Buildings records, it's worth noting the pattern of missed inspection opportunities in 2024-2025 related to various system complaints, suggesting potential challenges with communication or access arrangements for building inspections.
