2332 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2332 Creston Avenue is a 5-story, 43-unit residential building located in Fordham and constructed in 1913, currently owned by Eli Erlanger. The property has experienced persistent pest and maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints indicating rodent sightings in June 2025 and multiple pest-related violations throughout 2025, despite previous inspections noting closed violations. Between April 2024 and July 2024, significant maintenance issues were documented in Apartment 54, including problems with flooring, intercom systems, and multiple code violations related to repairs needed for floors in various rooms. The building has also undergone regular rodent inspections showing mixed results, with the most recent inspections failing for various reasons, including "Other Reasons" and "Rat Activity" in 2025.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of unsanitary conditions requiring attention, particularly relating to pests. Multiple HPD complaints from 2025 cite unsanitary conditions and pest problems, with violations issued requiring the owner to address the issues. Other maintenance concerns documented in 2025 include plumbing issues (bathtub/shower) and water leaks with heavy flow. The property has maintained an active bedbug management program from 2019 to 2024, though recent filings show no current infestations.

Earlier historical complaints from 2022 and 2018 indicate past issues with the elevator system, electrical wiring, and boiler problems, though these were typically resolved upon inspection. The building's violations from 2024 include necessary repairs to the fifth-story hall ceiling, self-closing doors, roof leaks, and fire-retardant plaster issues, though some of these violations have since been certified as closed. The property has undergone regular inspections and received multiple violation notices, with varying degrees of resolution. While some historical issues have been addressed, there remains a significant pattern of recent pest-related complaints and maintenance concerns requiring continued attention as of 2025. The building's history of rat activity and pest-related violations, combined with ongoing maintenance issues, suggests persistent challenges with building upkeep and sanitation standards.
