2682 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 5-story, 33-unit residential building at 2682 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Eduarh Urena, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a currently open water leak complaint (as of June 2025) involving damp spots that is awaiting access for repairs. Throughout 2025, the building has had multiple service requests and violations related to heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, including an emergency complaint in March 2025, though these were generally resolved promptly.

The building has also faced various interior maintenance challenges, including multiple instances of water-related issues, mold, and paint/plaster concerns, particularly affecting Unit 5E, which has been cited for multiple violations including roach infestation, defective plumbing fixtures, electrical issues, and most recently, mold concerns. The property has documented substantial efforts to address safety requirements, with violations in 2024 concerning non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3G, and various building maintenance issues including problems with windows, bricks, and a dangerous extension cord situation from a hallway window - all of which were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows significant attention to rodent control, with regular inspections showing generally positive results as of 2024.

However, there are ongoing concerns regarding energy efficiency compliance, with active violations for failure to display energy efficiency scores and file benchmarking reports dating back to 2019 and 2021. Recent inspections and violation history indicate a building that has faced persistent challenges with moisture-related issues and heating systems, particularly through early 2025, while generally maintaining compliance with rodent control requirements and most other safety standards. The majority of past violations have been addressed and closed, with the notable exception of the current open water leak complaint.
