2152 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The two-family house at 2152 Crotona Avenue in Belmont, owned by Einav Makover, has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. The property, built in 1905, experienced plumbing problems in early 2019, with complaints of water leaks and water supply issues marked as emergencies by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Numerous housing maintenance code violations were documented in 2018, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2FL), including problems with fire retardant materials, vinyl floor tiles, ceiling repairs, and electrical service supply issues, especially in January when multiple violations were issued for various deficiencies in public areas and common spaces. The building has a history of compliance challenges, particularly relating to environmental control board violations between 2018-2019, with five violations issued for failure to comply with a commissioner's order and file necessary corrections, each carrying penalties ranging from $2,000 to $5,000.

Two complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings regarding illegal conversion and unsafe demolition in 2020 and 2024, though no violations were found upon inspection. While recent rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 show generally favorable results with most passing, there was one failure in February 2023 for "Other Reasons." The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various building systems and compliance requirements, with most violations ultimately being resolved, as evidenced by their "Closed" status in the records. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passed, indicating improved pest control management.
