1605 Crosby Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The three-family house at 1605 Crosby Avenue in Pelham Bay, owned by Dominick Montemurro, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years, with the most significant incidents occurring in 2024. In July 2024, a complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed against the property, leading to an inspection on August 12th that resulted in an "Oath Violation Served." Following this inspection, two environmental control board violations were issued.

The first, which remains active with a $625 penalty, pertains to improper front yard modification, where natural greenery was replaced with solid concrete without proper drainage, violating zoning regulations. The second violation, which has been resolved with a $1,250 penalty, involved unauthorized work where a front window and air conditioner were removed and replaced with an entry door without the required permits.

Looking at the building's history beyond 2024, the property had no reported bedbug infestations during the 2021-2022 reporting period, with all units being declared free of the pests. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in July 2019 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting no significant rodent issues were present at that time. The building, constructed in 1960, is classified as a three-story, two-family house, though recent violations suggest there may have been unauthorized alterations to its original configuration.
