2850 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468
2850 Creston Avenue is a 6-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by 2850 Creston LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing, electrical systems, and building maintenance. Most notably, there are currently open violations from December 2024 related to water leaks, mold conditions, and defective plastered surfaces in Apartment APTD (1st Story, 1st Apartment from North at East), including issues with bathroom walls, ceiling, and kitchen areas.
The electrical system also requires attention, with an active ECB violation from August 2024 noting exposed wires and defective wiring conditions in Apartment 1B's bathroom, for which a penalty of $400 has been imposed. The property has a history of plumbing issues, with multiple heating/hot water complaints in early 2025, and emergency plumbing violations in January 2025 related to toilets and radiators. The building has undergone several inspections and maintenance actions regarding rodent control, with multiple bait applications in 2024 and some instances of rat activity recorded.
While there have been periodic reports of bedbug infestations in the past (notably in 2019), recent filings (2020-2024) indicate no current infestations. The property has also faced structural challenges, with the Department of Buildings documenting building wall cracks in 2019, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various issues, including multiple paint/plaster problems, appliance concerns, and unsanitary conditions, though inspections have often found conditions did not violate HPD housing laws. Recent complaints in 2025 regarding wall paint/plaster conditions, unsanitary garbage storage, and pest issues also indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
