2865 Creston Avenue, Bronx, NY 10468

The 13-story, 118-unit building at 2865 Creston Avenue in Fordham, owned by Paul Woody, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since opening in 2018. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of emergency water leak complaints, with three similar incidents reported as recently as February 2025, along with a sprinkler safety concern filed in the same month that remains open as of July 2025.

The building has also faced challenges with heat and hot water systems, with two separate complaints in January 2025, one of which was resolved while the other resulted in an incomplete inspection. Earlier complaints from 2024-2025 included issues with cabinets and wall conditions, though inspections found no housing law violations in these instances. The Department of Buildings records show several historical issues, particularly during the construction phase, including multiple elevator-related complaints in 2023 that resulted in Oath Violations.

There were various safety and compliance matters documented between 2018-2021, such as construction safety compliance concerns, sidewalk shed violations, and work stop orders, though most of these were resolved or dismissed upon inspection. The building's systems appear to have significant ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding water infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple open water leak complaints in 2025. On a positive note, recent bedbug reports for the building (2023-2024) show no infestations, with zero units affected in both reporting periods.
