2534 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

2534 Creston Avenue is a 28-unit, 5-story residential building in Fordham, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Bernard Perlowitz. The building has experienced persistent heating issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water recorded between 2019 and 2025, including two separate incidents in January 2025 alone, one of which was classified as an emergency by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Notable violations include a Class C violation from January 2022 concerning hot water availability in apartment 305 and access issues to the heating system's boiler room, which remains open as of the latest inspection. The building has demonstrated consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reporting showing zero infested dwelling units or re-infestations reported in the most recent five filings from 2021 through 2025.

Rodent inspections have largely passed, with the exception of a single report indicating rat activity in February 2020, and recent inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 have all passed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three years. While the building experienced a technical reporting issue in 2018 that was dismissed as not subject to Local Law 37, the most pressing concern remains the recurring heating system problems, as evidenced by the multiple service requests and violations related to heat and hot water availability throughout its recent history.
