2507 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-story, 64-unit tenement building at 2507 Cruger Avenue in the Allerton neighborhood, owned by Chaim Glick and constructed in 1927, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, a series of housing maintenance code violations were documented in late 2024, primarily affecting apartment 24W, including issues with mold, water leaks, pest infestations, and damaged ceilings requiring repair and re-painting.

The building is currently facing three active Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2021 related to energy efficiency requirements, specifically regarding the display of energy scores and benchmarking reports. In early 2025, multiple service requests were submitted to HPD through 311, with complaints about various issues including water leaks, door/window problems, flooring concerns, and pest-related unsanitary conditions. While some of these inspections were completed without violations being found, several others could not be completed, and the department requested that new service requests be submitted if problems persisted.

The building's history also shows recurring rodent control efforts, particularly notable between 2020 and 2022, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" during 2021-2022, though a pass was recorded in August 2022. There have been consistent bedbug reports filed between 2019-2024 showing zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. While some maintenance issues appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by certain complaints being marked as closed, the pattern of recent service requests and the presence of active DOB violations suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges.
