2065 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

This 2-story, 3-unit building at 2065 Crotona Avenue in Tremont, owned by Mayer Kaufman, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly between late 2023 and 2024. The building has documented multiple water-related problems, with complaints ranging from slow leaks to heavy flow issues, frequently leading to HPD violations. Pests have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints regarding infestations, and a significant rodent activity report in early 2025 following several failed inspections.

The apartment has also faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by numerous HPD violations and Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in September 2024, including issues with water leaks, sanitation, and pest control. Recent inspection findings from September 2024 revealed several violations in Apartment 1, including problems with the bathroom entrance door, ventilation system, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, window mechanism, and plastered surfaces. While many of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024, the building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

Despite these issues, records show no bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods, and the building's history of inspections includes some successful pest baiting and compliance passes, though concerns about rat activity persist. The property has undergone various inspections related to building code compliance and unauthorized modifications, though no significant violations were found in these investigations. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with preserving building systems and infrastructure.
