1544 Boone Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460

The 14-story, 164-unit residential building at 1544 Boone Avenue in East Morrisania, owned by Amy Cruz and constructed in 2016, is currently experiencing multiple safety concerns as of March 2025. There are open complaints regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, and plumbing problems, while recent heat and hot water outages were reported and subsequently resolved, though these issues appear to be recurring. The building has documented violations related to safety equipment, including non-functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, particularly in October 2024 in apartment 10G, as well as HVAC system problems.

The property has two active ECB violations from 2022-2023 concerning elevator door and certification issues, with penalties totaling $6,750. While the building has generally maintained good pest control recently, with no bedbug reports in the past three filing periods, there were three infested units reported in 2020-2021. Historical rodent inspections show a mix of passing and failing grades between 2010 and 2022, though most recent results have been compliant.

The property has a significant number of maintenance complaints to address, with particular attention needed to the building's safety systems, including carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and water supply issues. The building's management has previously dealt with similar problems, as evidenced by multiple closed violations and service requests, but current open issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention. This report combines both historical and current data to provide an overview of the building's maintenance history through October 2023, while recent 2025 issues have been noted with appropriate emphasis on their potential impact on resident safety and comfort.
