2150 Crotona Parkway, Bronx, NY 10460

The 11-unit, 5-story residential building at 2150 Crotona Parkway in West Farms, owned by Jose Perez and built in 1914, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, from February to May 2025, there was a series of repetitive heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD. The building is also grappling with rodent issues, as evidenced by four consecutive failed inspections between December 2024 and May 2025, all indicating rat activity.

Apartment 3A has experienced multiple conditions requiring attention, including pest infestations (both roaches and mice), mold issues, and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations were officially closed in early 2025. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in late 2024, including water temperature issues in Apartment 4A and problems with heating system access. The building's history shows some positive trends, particularly in pest control, as bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show no infestations in recent years, following two isolated incidents in 2018-2019.

However, the property has faced persistent challenges with basic services, particularly heating and water systems, as demonstrated by the frequency of related complaints. Recent violations and complaints suggest ongoing building systems maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and hot water supply, though some of these problems have reportedly been resolved when inspected. The building's infrastructure, originally constructed as a New Law tenement, shows signs of age-related wear, with numerous complaints about various systems and amenities requiring attention throughout the past few years.
