2311 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2311 Crotona Avenue is a 9-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement located in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by Blj Properties Llc and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating system reliability, most recently evidenced by a heat/hot water emergency complaint in May 2025, following similar complaints in 2018, 2021, and 2022 regarding the boiler system.

There have been multiple instances of unsanitary conditions and maintenance issues, including three separate mold complaints in 2023 and a significant rodent infestation in Apartment 4 noted in 2022, though recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have passed. The building has also faced various plumbing and safety concerns, such as a fire escape inspection in 2022 that could not be accessed, and multiple plumbing issues affecting bathtubs, sinks, and other facilities in 2023 that resulted in emergency complaints. Building management has been subject to scrutiny regarding several housing maintenance code violations, including an August 2023 violation for a cockroach infestation in Apartment 1 and a September 2022 violation related to a non-GFCI electrical outlet near water in Apartment 4.

Multiple illegal conversion complaints were filed between 2018 and 2023, though inspections often resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" determinations. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), and recent environmental inspections have shown improved conditions, with a passed rodent inspection in 2025 and no current violations related to building encumbrances or public areas. However, a December 2022 ECB violation regarding an unregistered boiler remains on record, though it was subsequently marked "Resolved."
