937 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10473

937 Croes Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Soundview and owned by Joseph Pareres, constructed in 2004. The building has experienced several recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during early 2019 when there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heating problems affecting the entire building and individual apartments. These incidents, though resolved within a few days, suggest historical challenges with the building's heating infrastructure.

In September 2019, the building faced various maintenance issues including problems with a bathroom door and cabinet in Apartment 1A, unsanitary conditions possibly related to pests, and an emergency door/window issue, all of which were subsequently addressed. More recent maintenance history shows a violation from February 2024 regarding a key-operated double cylinder lock at the rear yard, though this was certified for correction. The building's safety protocols have been somewhat addressed, with a violation noted in September 2019 requiring the posting of gas leak procedures in common areas.

Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record with respect to pest infestations, as evidenced by multiple bedbug reports (from 2018 through 2024) showing zero infested or eradicated units, and a rat infestation inspection from 2010 which passed. The building's management has generally responded to complaints and violations, with most issues being closed promptly, though the frequency of heating-related complaints in early 2019 indicates this was a significant period for resident discomfort. No recent heating complaints or violations have been recorded, suggesting potential improvements to building systems in the years since.
