2446 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2446 Creston Avenue is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building located in Fordham, built in 1916 and currently owned by Steven Kaufman. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly during 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and March 2024, including violations issued during inspections.

The building also faced unsanitary conditions related to pests as recently as May 2025, prompting HPD inspections and the issuance of violations, though rodent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing grades, suggesting improved conditions. Significant maintenance issues were identified in March 2024, including problems with a broken glass pane at an intermediate landing window, a defective fire door to the north yard, and various issues within apartment 51 (such as hot water supply problems, window sash issues, and radiator concerns), though these violations were subsequently closed. The building has undergone multiple sidewalk shed inspections between 2023 and 2025, with no violations found in any of the inspections.

While the property experienced heating, plumbing, and pest issues that affected resident comfort and safety, it is worth noting that both bedbug reports for the building (in 2024 and 2025) showed no infestation cases. The building's recent history shows some improvement in maintenance response, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspections, though the persistence of heating and water issues throughout 2024-2025 suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has maintained compliance with various housing code requirements, with violations being addressed and closed following inspections, indicating that management generally responds to regulatory enforcement actions.
