2550 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The building at 2550 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Tony Guillen, is a 5-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1915. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024-2025, with particular issues related to heating systems, plumbing, and pest control.

Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including emergency situations affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with recent incidents recorded in December 2024. Apartment 4N has been the focus of several violations, including ongoing pest infestations (mice and roaches) and maintenance issues such as broken plaster surfaces, ceramic floor tiles, and electrical outlets. The building has documented rat activity in 2025, with multiple inspections showing consistent rodent presence, though regular bait applications indicate attempts at control.

In addition to the heating and pest problems, other maintenance issues have been recorded, including unsanitary conditions, plumbing problems, and various structural concerns (windows, floors, and walls) as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints and violations. While the property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2018, the recent housing maintenance code violations and emergency repairs suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are reflected in the variety of maintenance issues that have required attention over the past year.
