2431 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2431 Crotona Avenue is a 22-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located in the Belmont neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Cheryl Richter. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in late 2023 through early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints about system failures affecting the entire building, though all were subsequently resolved.

More recent concerns include a door-related issue reported in early 2025, which was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including a significant water leak incident in late 2020 and a pest complaint in 2021, as well as last noted maintenance violations in 2020 related to door locks and peeling paint in Apartment 5, both of which were subsequently certified as corrected. Recent inspection records show that the building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections over the past several years, with the most recent in June 2025 indicating satisfactory conditions.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows some past infestations between 2019-2021, but records for the past three reporting periods (2021-2024) indicate no new infestations or re-infestations, suggesting effective eradication measures. The most recent Department of Buildings permit issuance was recorded in November 2019 for alterations, though no specific details about this work were provided in the available data. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the combination of regular rodent inspection passes and recent bedbug reports showing no infestations suggest improved pest management in recent years.
