Augrented Insights Report for 2188 Creston Avenue

2188 Creston Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building located in the Fordham neighborhood, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Shimon Greisman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water during 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints related to these services, most recently in May 2025 when HPD confirmed restoration of the utilities.

There have been several significant maintenance concerns, including water leaks (with violations issued in 2024), mold problems, and various interior maintenance issues such as painting/plastering needs in multiple units. Notably, in July 2024, violations were documented in apartment 4F regarding water leaks, ceiling damage, and multiple code compliance issues related to fire safety and emergency egress. The building's violation history reveals previous serious concerns, including a 2019 environmental violation regarding unauthorized occupancy as SRO units with key-locked doors, which resulted in a $2,500 penalty.

Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown some rodent activity, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed. While the building has maintained regular bedbug reports demonstrating no infestations from 2019 to the present, there have been recurring complaints about illegal conversions, primarily in 2023-2024, though inspectors have been unable to gain access during final attempts. The property also has two active violations from 2019 related to energy benchmarking and FISP technical report filings, though these discrepancies appear to be more administrative in nature compared to current habitability concerns.
