Augrented Insights Report for 2197 Cruger Avenue

2197 Cruger Avenue is a 6-story, 61-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues, with significant recent concerns emerging in 2025. In April 2025, multiple HPD violations were issued for paint/plaster issues (walls and ceilings), flooring problems, plumbing concerns (bathtub/shower), electrical outlet/switch issues, and unsanitary conditions including pests.

The building has a documented history of heat/hot water problems, with multiple complaints in February 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in some cases. Apartment D6 has shown notable concerns, with December 2024 violations for defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, along with active issues with roach and mouse infestations. The property has active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from March 2025 regarding the facade, requiring repair of cracks and other damage, and violations related to building safety and egress.

A 2024 ECB violation noted building facade maintenance issues, with cracks and rotting wood documented. The building's heating system access and emergency exit corridors have also been cited for violations, though some violations from earlier years related to these issues have been resolved. A bedbug report filed in 2025 showed no infestations during the 2023-2024 period, and rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with some showing rat activity and others passing inspections. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2020 and 2023 for various maintenance work, though there have been recent citations for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations in 2025.
