1344 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1344 Croes Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building located in Parkchester, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Sharon Brown. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between late 2023 and early 2025, including several building-wide outages that required HPD intervention.

Most recently, in February 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with at least one building-wide complaint being closed due to inability to access units for inspection. In May 2024, HPD issued violations related to the building's heating system access, though some conditions were later corrected according to HPD records. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2023, when multiple violations were documented in April related to Apartment 1 and Apartment 2, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), defective smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detection device issues.

Additional non-emergency maintenance issues were reported in November 2023 involving an electric/gas range and cabinet problems. While a rodent inspection in May 2023 passed, indicating successful pest management, the building's historical records show a pattern of compliance inspections passing since 2014, with the last noted rat activity occurring in October 2010. Notably, the property has consistently reported no bedbug infestations in its mandatory reporting to the city, with the last two annual reports (2022-2023 and 2021-2022) showing zero infested units.
