1789 Monroe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

1789 Monroe Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in the Mount Hope neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Sam Stahl. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2022, 2023, and most recently in January 2025, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including violations related to stairs, roofing, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions (pests) in 2023, as well as door/window problems and several emergency repairs needed during that period. Most concerning are the active violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding water, pest management, and electrical issues, particularly in Apartment 1F, where there were exposed wires and thermostat problems.

The building's recent history shows significant infrastructure maintenance challenges, including multiple violations for failure to file required high-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, which remain active as of late 2024. Rodent inspection results have been mixed, with recent inspections in 2025 showing failures for "Other Reasons." While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years (2018-2024), and the building did experience a power outage in 2022, the ongoing maintenance issues and violations suggest persistent challenges with building systems and infrastructure. The property has undergone various inspections and repairs, with some violations being certified as corrected, though many issues appear to require ongoing attention based on inspection results and complaint patterns.
