Tremont

The Tremont area covers the blocks north of Crotona Park, from around Park Avenue east to Southern Boulevard, with Mount Hope to the west, Belmont to the north and West Farms to the east; it includes East Tremont. East Tremont Avenue is the main street. Housing mixes pre-war apartment buildings with newer construction: about 45% of homes are in pre-1940 buildings, split between walk-ups (about 39%) and elevator buildings (about 46%). No subway station is inside the area; the 2 and 5 stop just outside at 174th Street and a few blocks east at West Farms Square, and Metro-North's Harlem Line stops at Tremont. Crotona Park, with a 3.3-acre lake and the borough's largest pool, borders the south.

Tremont has 23,261 open HPD housing violations, 6,377 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 12,370 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 10th most open violations of 39 neighborhoods in Bronx.

Fact-checked October 12, 2026

Station locations checked by placing MTA Subway Stations coordinates inside the 2020 NTA boundary; housing-stock shares computed from PLUTO residential units by building class and year built for lots inside the NTA (rounded). This NTA lies east of Mount Hope; the Wikipedia "Tremont" article describes a broader area that overlaps Mount Hope, so boundaries here come from the 2020 NTA dataset and PLUTO lot addresses. Library at 1866 Washington Ave confirmed inside the NTA. Crotona Park is mapped as its own park NTA. Fact-check 2026-10-12: Removed unverified "five- and six-story" building description. 174 St station is about 180 m and West Farms Sq about 500 m outside the NTA; Metro-North Tremont station placed inside using MTA GTFS coordinates. Library (1905 Carnegie, 1866 Washington Ave) from Wikipedia; 3.3-acre lake and 300-foot pool from NYC Parks.

“Open” counts every HPD violation not yet recorded as corrected, including old ones owners never certified, so totals can exceed the number of apartments.
