Augrented Insights Report for 2198 Cruger Avenue

The six-story, 88-unit apartment building at 2198 Cruger Avenue in Bronxale, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by 2198 Cruger Associates LLC, has experienced persistent heat and water supply issues throughout 2025, with multiple building-wide complaints about heat and hot water problems filed between April and May 2025, including several emergency complaints that were closed as duplicates of ongoing issues. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various safety and maintenance concerns, including the presence of lead paint hazards (December 2024), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (December 2024), and multiple violations regarding inadequate hot water supply (November 2024).

While most repairs have been certified as completed, certain issues remain active, including problems with the building's exterior facade and air conditioning support brackets. The property has a history of multiple complaints regarding work without permits between 2018 and 2025, though many resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings upon inspection.

The building's safety maintenance record is mixed, with some recent violations involving emergency work orders for structural issues and building maintenance problems. However, the building has not reported any bedbug cases in the past three years, though rodent inspections show variable results with some failures recorded between 2022 and 2025, generally passing recent inspections. The Department of Buildings has several active violations related to the building's facade and interior maintenance that require attention, while the most recent elevator and sidewalk complaints from 2025 were found to have no violations.
