2588 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 24-unit, 5-story building at 2588 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Jacob Eisenstein, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with several concerning patterns. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage, though these services were restored during HPD's inspection.

Multiple emergency complaints from January 2025 (including issues with electrical systems, doors/windows, carbon monoxide detectors, and various unsanitary conditions) were not able to be properly inspected due to lack of access for HPD inspectors. The building has also experienced heat-related problems previously, with violations issued in December 2024 for inadequate heating in Apartment 24 and other heating system access issues.

Additional safety and maintenance concerns include multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations indicating various unsafe conditions, such as lead paint hazards in Apartment 31 (August 2024) and a notable Environmental Control Board violation for obstructed egress paths and improper storage in the hallway (March 2024) with a $1,250 penalty. While the building has consistently shown zero bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods (the most recent filing in 2025), rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with failed inspections in 2023-2024 indicating ongoing pest control challenges. The property has a history of maintenance issues requiring attention, though many of the more recent violations and complaints are marked as "Closed," suggesting some level of resolution.
