1974 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457
1974 Crotona Avenue is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Cristal Heredia. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2024, when multiple plumbing problems were reported, including issues with toilets, sinks, and water supply systems, some of which received violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The most concerning current issues involve the building's exterior facade, with active violations from 2024 noting horizontal cracks, misaligned bricks, and degraded mortar above the 6th-floor windows, as well as problems with window sills, particularly on the west elevation.
These structural concerns have led to multiple violation orders and a penalty of $6,250 from the Environmental Control Board. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by a February 2024 complaint regarding the entire building. Pest control has been a concern, with multiple pest-related complaints in 2021, though these were either not inspected or resulted in no violations being found.
While the building has maintained good rodent control records, passing inspections from 2015 through 2025, and has shown consistent bedbug-free status in annual reports since 2019, the recent cluster of plumbing and facade-related violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent complaints from 2024 also indicate issues with a lack of access for inspectors in some cases. The building has experienced some structural stability concerns, with complaints about shaking and vibrations recorded in 2019 and 2024, though inspections either found no violations or were unable to gain access for verification. The property has shown some pattern of violation resolution, with many past violations being closed properly, though several current violations remain open or active as of the latest available information.
