2385 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

Located in Fordham, 2385 Creston Avenue is a 6-story, 73-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Martin Meyer. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services, particularly evident in 2025, where multiple complaints regarding heat, hot water, and electrical systems were filed. Six separate HPD complaints between December 2024 and February 2025 indicate either power outages or heating issues that required inspections, though authorities often reported being unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including an open violation as of December 2024 regarding inadequate electrical service to apartment 4G, and previous violations related to window guard safety. The property has a history of safety and maintenance concerns dating back several years, including multiple complaints about window guards (though HPD inspections found no housing law violations), door issues, and various apartment maintenance problems recorded in June 2025. The building underwent significant scrutiny in 2018-2019 for multiple violations, including illegal occupancy concerns in apartment 2C involving unauthorized partitions, flexible extension cord issues, and several safety problems, though most of these were subsequently resolved.

Recent inspections related to rodent activity showed passing results in 2024-2025, following a failed inspection in late 2021. The building's systems have been subject to regular inspection, with a focus on fire safety equipment like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though access issues have sometimes impeded proper evaluation. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations according to annual reporting requirements since 2019.
