2136 Crotona Parkway, Bronx, NY 10460

2136 Crotona Parkway, a 5-story building in West Farms owned by Adam Weinstein, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, and previous inspections in 2022 and 2020 also confirming rodent presence. The building has faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including mold issues in 2020, and several heating and hot water complaints from 2019-2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Water leak complaints have been frequent, with heavy flow issues reported in late 2019 and other instances in subsequent years.

The property has had significant safety and maintenance concerns, including broken window guards in 2020 (though no violations were found), and various Housing Maintenance Code violations that remained open as of 2024. These include requirements related to annual bedbug reporting and lead-based paint hazard control compliance. Notable building system issues have been documented, such as electrical wiring problems in early 2019, and several violations related to building safety standards. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with most showing some form of non-compliance.

Recent construction work has generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023, including safety violations related to a worker injury involving a debris chute. The property has maintained records of bedbug activity from 2018-2022, though the most recent report for 2022-2023 indicated no infested units. While there have been numerous violations and complaints over the years, many have been resolved or dismissed, including several recent energy efficiency-related violations in 2023. The building's permit history shows active maintenance and improvement work being conducted in 2023, with multiple permits issued between January and May 2023 for demolition and equipment-related work.
