2860 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 22-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2860 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Ray Pashtriku and constructed in 1917, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly concerning building systems and infrastructure. Most recently, in 2025, there was an unresolved electrical wiring issue (HPD complaint) that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete.

In 2023, the building faced multiple simultaneous complaints regarding paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, and problems with flooring, though no violations were ultimately issued for these conditions. The building has a notable history of heat and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in 2019, 2020, and most recently in December 2022, though in each case, residents reported that the services were restored before HPD's inspection. Additional significant events include a 2023 complaint about building shaking/vibration that resulted in a "Oath Violation Served" disposition, and the issuance of an ECB violation in March 2023 concerning maintenance issues in Apartment 32, specifically regarding cracks in ceilings and walls.

There are also outstanding issues noted, including a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs and rodent issues in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2019 and all rodent inspections passing since the rat activity was noted in 2017. The property has shown generally good compliance with building maintenance requirements in terms of addressing violations when issued, as evidenced by multiple closures of various complaints through HPD and DOS inspections.
