2414 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The five-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building at 2414 Creston Avenue, built in 1914 and currently owned by Ibsam Martinez, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent months (2025). The most pressing issues have been recurring pest infestations, with multiple complaints filed between January and March 2025 resulting in HPD violations, and four unsanitary condition complaints related to pests recorded throughout the year.

The building has also faced significant plumbing problems during early 2025, with emergency complaints regarding toilets, basins/sinks, and steam pipes/risers, though inspections did not reveal housing law violations in some cases. Earlier in 2024, a violation was issued concerning mice infestation in apartment 22, and there were several maintenance issues noted in apartments 18 and 19, including bathroom ceiling repairs and kitchen cabinet repairs, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The building appears to have maintained reasonable overall standards in other areas, with rodent inspections consistently passing from 2020 through 2025, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, with the most recent bedbug report (2024-2025) showing zero infested units. While multiple 311 complaints have been filed regarding various issues, many were unable to be fully inspected by HPD inspectors, and the most recent unsanitary condition violations and emergency complaints have provided the property owner with time to address the cited problems. The building's history shows relatively few serious safety concerns, though the ongoing pest issues and plumbing complaints suggest some challenges with maintenance and repairs.
