Augrented Insights Report for 2255 Creston Avenue

The 28-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2255 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Jorge Ruiz and constructed in 1923, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in May 2025, multiple complaints were documented and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various violations, including unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), flooring issues, electrical problems, wall issues, and plumbing concerns. Notably, a January 2025 inspection of apartment E1 revealed serious safety violations, including defective bathroom fixtures, inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and extensive mold conditions.

Apartment 5A also underwent inspection in late 2024, revealing multiple issues including leaky faucets, radiator problems, and evidence of pest infestations. The building's recent history shows a pattern of plumbing, electrical, and maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address flooring, wall, and pest-related issues. While rodent inspections in 2025 showed improvements, with two Passed results, there were earlier incidents of rat activity recorded in 2024.

The property has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2021, though there was one reported case in 2020. The building currently has an open non-emergency violation related to the water supply as of June 2025. While many of the historical violations have been closed through remediation, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention.
