1117 Croes Avenue, Bronx, NY 10472

1117 Croes Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Mohamed Shaheed. The property has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, most recently evidenced by three separate water leak complaints in July 2023, including one classified as an emergency due to heavy flow.

Other significant recent incidents include a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in July 2023 and violations issued for water leak issues in Apartment 1R during the same month. These building-wide heat and water problems reflect an ongoing maintenance challenge. The July 2023 inspection revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 1R, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, sloping wooden floor issues, and concerns regarding water supply and plaster damage in the bathroom.

Earlier incidents from 2021 showed similar maintenance patterns, with heat and hot water issues, flooring concerns, and door/window problems resulting in both issued violations and verified corrections. The building has maintained a record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations, and recent rodent inspections (2023 and 2024) passed, though there was one instance of rat activity recorded in January 2023. While the building's recent record shows some concerning maintenance issues particularly related to water systems and basic safety equipment, it's worth noting that several recent complaints (including paint/plaster and water leak issues) were closed without violations being issued, suggesting some responsiveness to tenant concerns, though these problems appear to persist based on subsequent complaints and violations.
