2027 Monterey Avenue, Bronx, NY 10457

2027 Monterey Avenue is a 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Tremont, built in 1913 and currently managed by owner Jennifer Lau. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with eight separate emergency complaints in early 2025 alone, though these were generally resolved quickly. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services, including an inoperable boiler in late 2023 that resulted in an active ECB violation with a $625 penalty.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 indicate multiple issues in apartment 2E, including problems with rotted bathroom floor panels, interior paint, light fixtures, and pest infestations, particularly involving mice and roaches. The building has historically struggled with pest control, though recent bedbug reports show zero infestations from 2019-2024. The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections revealing various compliance issues.

These include elevator service concerns in early 2023 (no violations found), and a 2023 violation for boiler problems. Multiple violations remain open regarding building systems, including issues with hallway doors and security features, though some violations from December 2021 regarding energy efficiency displays are still listed as open without resolution. Recent rodent inspections (2025) show mixed results, with initial failures in January 2025 for unspecified reasons, though subsequent inspections passed. The building's history from 2019-2025 shows consistent attempts to address maintenance and service issues, but many problems remain outstanding, particularly concerning heating systems, pest control, and various building maintenance matters.
