2405 Crotona Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

2405 Crotona Avenue is a 5-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building located in Belmont, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Salvatore Bellomo. The property has experienced several recurring issues since 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water (both in individual apartments and the entire building), water leaks, plumbing issues, unsanitary conditions including mold, and maintenance problems affecting floors, ceilings, doors, and windows. Of particular concern are the recent violations related to C-class self-closing doors and hot water supply issues in apartment 25 that remain open as of November 2024.

The building has also shown ongoing mechanical issues, with multiple HPD complaints regarding heating systems in early 2025, including emergencies related to heat and hot water, which have been a persistent problem throughout 2024 and earlier. The property has demonstrated challenges with infrastructure maintenance, including plumbing and water-related issues affecting multiple units, though inspections generally did not result in violations being issued. Between 2020 and 2025, there have been various Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations, including issues with the boiler system, though some of these have been resolved.

Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown consistent rat activity, despite some passing inspections in previous years. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases between 2018 and 2025. While many complaints have been closed without violations being issued, the pattern of repeated heat-related issues and the presence of C-class violations warrant attention to the building's ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges.
