1632 Crosby Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The 5-story, 18-unit building at 1632 Crosby Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Tom Aponte, is a New Law Tenement constructed in 1927. The building is currently experiencing significant heating system issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints filed in January 2025—most notably a cluster of eight interrelated complaints on January 10-13, 2025, affecting both apartments and the entire building. While some complaints have been resolved or closed, there remain indications of persistent heating problems.

In addition to the heating issues, there was a general complaint about missing signage in January 2025. Recent history shows two violations from October 2023 in Apartment 2, related to unsafe electrical service and excessively hot water temperatures (over 130 degrees Fahrenheit), though these were certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history reveals periodic issues with heat and hot water, as seen in the multiple complaints and violations. The building has been inspected for bedbugs every year since 2018, with no evidence of infestation noted in any reports.

A rodent inspection in October 2019 passed without any problems noted. The Department of Buildings records show three permits were issued in October-November 2018, with various work types including electrical and plumbing, though specific work details are not provided in the summary. Two complaints from the Department of Buildings—one in 2022 regarding worker safety site conditions and another in 2018 concerning enforcement work—were closed without any violations being found. The building's violation history shows ongoing heating system maintenance challenges, particularly during winter months.
