2244 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

2244 Creston Avenue is a 6-story, 49-unit residential building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Miguel Polanco. The Fordham building has experienced recurring electrical issues in 2025, with multiple documented power outages between January and May, particularly concentrated in late April to early May 2025, some of which resulted in HPD violations. April and May 2025 also saw complaints about sewage issues, door problems, and a water leak, with some violations still remaining open as of May 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows significant concerns with building systems, particularly the elevator, which has had multiple complaints regarding single device service and no alternate service, with two active complaints from late 2024, and a history of power outages affecting basic services. The property has undergone various inspections revealing numerous maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 4C, where violations were issued in December 2024 regarding defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom tiles, and tub regrezing issues, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by January 2025. There have been several investigations into potential illegal room conversions and occupancy issues, with varying inspection outcomes and one active complaint as of 2025.

The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with violations related to fire door maintenance and missing floor signs in common areas, though many of these were resolved. While the building has generally passed recent rodent inspections, a December 2023 inspection did result in a failed rating for unspecified reasons, warranting some concern. Notably, the property has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past three reporting periods from 2021 through 2023.
