2060 Crotona Parkway, Bronx, NY 10460

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 2060 Crotona Parkway in West Farms, owned by Valerie Torres, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. As of March 2025, there are multiple open HPD complaints regarding building systems and safety features, including problems with door/window hardware (frames and doors), flooring, lighting, and the intercom system. Notably, there was a period of extensive bedbug infestation affecting 35 units between 2022-2023, though subsequent reports from late 2024 show zero infestations.

Recent inspections (2025) have confirmed the absence of rodent issues. The building has recurring elevator service problems; between 2019-2024, there were multiple violations for lack of alternate service, with the most recent emergencies in 2023-2024 resulting in fines. There are also several active violations related to the failure to file required energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency ratings. Previous maintenance violations indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and tenant safety.

In 2024, violations were issued regarding self-closing doors, building maintenance requirements including janitorial service, garbage receptacles, and various repair needs in apartment 5D (including bathroom issues like leaky faucets and painting requirements). The building's elevator and boiler systems have been the subject of multiple complaints and inspections, with some violations being temporarily dismissed based on inspections. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the pattern of violations and complaints suggests systemic maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years. The property has had periods of compliance with various safety measures, including smoke detectors, though there have been recent complaints suggesting ongoing issues in this area as well.
