1243 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

The three-family residential building at 1243 Croes Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Salman Khan and constructed in 1960, has experienced some concerning maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most notably, in January 2025, a heat/hot water complaint was filed for the entire building, which was classified as an emergency by the Housing Maintenance Code but could not be inspected due to lack of access, leading to an unresolved status.

This followed a documented pattern of heating system concerns, including a July 2023 HPD complaint for lack of heat or hot water, though this complaint was closed without further resolution details. The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, experiencing multiple inspection cycles between 2016 and 2023.

While the most recent rodent inspection in May 2023 resulted in a passing grade, historical records show periods of rat activity, particularly in 2019 and 2021, with a July 2021 inspection resulting in failure for unspecified "Other Reasons." Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building passed multiple consecutive rodent inspections from 2018 through 2023, suggesting some improvements in pest management over time. The property's documented history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly in heating systems, while showing some progress in rodent control compliance, though occasional failures remain concerning for resident comfort and safety.
