2200 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The 77-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 2200 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Anthony Gazivoda and constructed in 1928, has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about entire-building deficiencies between January and April 2025, though many were resolved upon HPD inspection. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding elevator service, with an active complaint from November 2024 about single device operation with no alternate service, following a similar issue in 2021 that resulted in an Oath violation.

Structural and safety concerns have also been documented, including building wall issues from 2019, while a pattern of rat activity has been consistently recorded in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, though some earlier inspections passed. Recent building inspections in late 2024 identified various violations requiring attention, including defective fire retardant material at the 6th-floor bulkhead ceiling, issues with self-closing doors, cracked glass panes in the 1st-story public hall window, and unsafe electrical wiring conditions at the roof bulkhead. While these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024, they indicate maintenance challenges.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple ECB violations issued between 2019 and 2021 related to maintenance and access issues, though some violations were resolved or dismissed. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug cases in recent annual filings from 2021-2024, and while there have been some window guard violations (notably in apartment 602), these have been addressed. The building is currently cited for failing to display required energy efficiency scores as of late 2023.
