1750 Monroe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1750 Monroe Avenue in Mount Hope, owned by Samantha Magistro, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns arising in late 2024. In December 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding window frames and mold issues, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducting inspections that did not result in violations. A December 2024 inspection identified a water leak problem in apartment 3's window recess on the east wall, requiring repairs under a Notice of Violation.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2022, when multiple complaints were filed and verified by HPD, indicating potential system reliability concerns. The building has active violations with the Department of Buildings from 2019 and 2023 regarding the failure to file required boiler and external low-pressure inspection reports, though these are not recent and may relate to administrative matters rather than current conditions. There is a clear pattern of maintenance issues throughout the building, including window frame problems and mold concerns, particularly affecting apartment 1 and 3.

However, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all eight inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 showing satisfactory results. Importantly, historical bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations or eradication efforts recorded, indicating this has not been a pest issue for the building's residents. While various housing maintenance code violations have been issued and subsequently closed between 2024 and 2025, including issues with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and a defective bulkhead door, the building's management has generally addressed and certified the correction of these violations.
