1131 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1131 Croes Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Soundview, built in 1927 and currently owned by Madelyn Lugo. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in 2020 alone - one affecting the entire building and two involving individual apartments.

Most recently, in March 2023, there was another heat complaint for an apartment that HPD could not inspect due to lack of access. Rodent sightings have been reported twice in the past three years (2022 and 2023), though each time the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations following their inspections. The building's pest management records are notable for showing consistent bedbug prevention compliance, with no reported infestations from 2019 through 2024, though violations were issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports (all of which were eventually closed).

The property has maintained relatively good conditions overall, passing multiple rodent inspections between 2012 and 2024, with only two initial inspections (2013 and 2012) showing failures for "Other Reasons." An Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in 2018 regarding an unregistered boiler, but this was resolved without penalties. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to compliance requirements, particularly in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations or significant pest control issues since 2020. While the history of heat and hot water complaints is concerning, particularly for a building of this age, the fact that most complaints have been addressed and closed without violations indicates an attempt to maintain basic services.
