1800 Monroe Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

The 14-unit, 4-story residential building at 1800 Monroe Avenue in Mount Hope, constructed in 2013 and owned by Michael R, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in March and January of that year. HPD inspections in January 2025 were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in most cases.

The building has maintained a consistent record of heat and hot water complaints, with a total of 12 such complaints documented from December 2024 through March 2025. Additionally, the property faced pest-related challenges in January 2025, resulting in HPD violations. Prior to these recent issues, the building had significant regulatory challenges in 2019 concerning its Certificate of Occupancy, with complaints suggesting it was being occupied with an invalid C/O, though these violations were ultimately resolved with penalties paid.

The property underwent inspections in 2024 that revealed several maintenance violations, including inadequate lighting in public areas and concerns about handrails and self-closing doors, though these were all subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by late 2024. The building's pest management record shows no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and while there have been some rodent inspection failures noted in 2024 and early 2025, previous years (2021-2023) showed consistent passing results for rodent activity inspections. The most recent rodent inspections in March 2025 indicated ongoing rat activity, representing a notable public health concern that persists into mid-2025.
