1745 Montgomery Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

The three-story, two-family house at 1745 Montgomery Avenue in Morris Heights, owned by Doris Castro, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in early 2024, warranting emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Between January and February 2024, the building was subject to multiple emergency complaints, including three distinct incidents of water leaks with heavy flow, three occurrences of mold-related unsanitary conditions, and three separate heat and hot water issues specifically affecting apartments.

While violations were issued in the February complaints, the earlier January incidents did not result in violations, with one inspection unable to gain apartment access. Notably, all these complaints have been officially closed, though the pattern of overlapping issues suggests systemic maintenance challenges within the building.

Prior to 2024, there are no documented service requests or complaints on record for this property, which was built in 1910 and has remained in its original two-family configuration. The recent cluster of issues, all categorized as emergencies, indicates potential building system vulnerabilities, though the closure of these complaints suggests they were addressed by HPD, at least from an administrative perspective. It is worth noting that while violations were issued in the most recent complaints, specific details regarding these violations can be obtained from the HPD website for more thorough understanding of the nature and scope of the identified issues.
