2315 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2315 Crotona Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit residential tenement building in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Adem Hasanbelliu and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three significant emergencies reported between December 2024 and May 2025 involving the entire building's heating system. More recent concerns include a door-related issue in May 2025 that resulted in violations being issued by HPD. The building has also faced multiple elevator and window-related complaints, though not all resulted in violations.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicated ongoing challenges with building access for inspections and maintenance, particularly regarding doors between public areas and private spaces. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past year. In 2024, multiple violations were addressed including requirements for proper gas leak notice postings, smoke detector requirements, and repairs to self-closing doors. A notable heating system violation from 2020 regarding a defective barometric damper and missing valves was recorded, though the penalty appears to be resolved. The building has maintained a record of rodent control inspections, with periodic reports of rat activity between 2022 and 2024, particularly in April 2022 and March 2023.

However, all recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have passed, suggesting improvements in pest management. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of its age and construction type, there is evidence of ongoing management response to violations and resident complaints. The building's heating system appears to be the most persistent operational challenge, with multiple emergency complaints in recent months. The property has also demonstrated compliance with most recent housing maintenance codes, though there are periodic issues with door hardware and security that require attention. The absence of bedbug reports in recent years (2024-2025) suggests successful pest management, while recent rodent inspections showing passing results is a positive development.
