1270 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1270 Croes Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Moti James. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025 and previous incidents documented in 2021 (apartment only) and multiple instances in early 2019 (entire building).

These heating system problems have persisted despite multiple HPD interventions, with several inspections noting either restored service or inability to gain access for verification. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including a 2021 mold issue in Apartment 2F that resulted in a B-class violation, and various safety concerns in 2023 related to defective self-closing doors throughout the building, which prompted C-class violations. More recent inspections and violations from 2023 indicate ongoing compliance issues, including an open Class A violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024, though previous bedbug filings from 2021-2023 show zero infestations.

A notable sequence of repairs occurred in mid-2023, addressing self-closing door issues in multiple units, while a 2022 violation required mold remediation in Apartment 2F. The building's infrastructure has undergone routine rodent inspections between 2010-2018, consistently passing most except for one failure in 2012. The building's heating system remains a persistent area of concern, with multiple complaints spanning several years indicating potential systemic issues despite periodic temporary resolutions.
