150 Van Cortlandt Ave East, Bronx, NY 10458

The 13-story, 152-unit building at 150 Van Cortlandt Avenue East in Norwood, owned by Javier Monroy and completed in 2018, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to pest infestations, with at least eight separate pest-related complaints recorded, though some were noted as having been resolved. There were also reports of water leaks, plumbing issues, and appliance problems during this same period.

The building has documented infrastructure issues, including a defective PTAC heating/cooling unit in apartment 9K, roach infestations on the 6th floor, and various maintenance violations in apartment 4L related to water damage, plaster, and paint requirements. The property underwent significant construction work prior to its completion, which resulted in several construction safety compliance violations in early 2020, though these were subsequently resolved. Recent inspections have shown mixed results, with rodent inspections passing in 2023 and 2024, but a rat activity report in late 2022.

The building has demonstrated good pest control management in terms of bedbug mitigation, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Though there were some violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements, these were dismissed by 2025. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing all inspections since 2019, except for the 2022 instance of rat activity.
