1737 Montgomery Avenue, Bronx, NY 10453

1737 Montgomery Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Alfred Basal. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly affecting the 1st floor apartment (1FL), which has been the subject of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2023 and 2024.

These violations include problems with plastered surfaces, wood floors, entry door, infestation issues (specifically roaches), bathroom facilities, and various repair needs in both bathrooms. While many of these violations were officially closed in July 2023, a Class B violation for defective plastered surfaces in ceiling remains open as of April 2024. The building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with the most recent inspections in 2025 (June and July) showing rat activity and bait application.

This follows a pattern of rat activity observations throughout 2024, while 2023 inspections generally showed better conditions, with a "Passed" rating in April 2023. The property also had several environmental maintenance issues noted in 2023, including problems with waste storage, rear yard cleanliness, and bathroom fixtures. The frequency and variety of maintenance issues, particularly in the 1FL apartment, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, though some improvements have been documented through the closure of multiple violations.
