2559 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story, three-unit building at 2559 Cruger Avenue in Allerton, currently owned by Nir Dankner, has experienced recurring water-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, a water leak was reported in June 2025, forming a damp spot, though no violations were found upon inspection. This followed similar water-related problems in 2021 (heavy flow) and multiple incidents in 2019 involving slow leaks.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including multiple flooring issues throughout 2019, particularly in the basement apartment (Apt B). The property has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019 requiring annual bedbug report filings, as well as several deficiencies identified in 2019 specific to Apt B, including broken bathroom cabinet issues, missing smoke detectors, and water leak problems. There are two notable illegal conversion complaints on record - one from 2023 relating to access denial during inspection, and a 2019 case resulting in an Oath violation.

The building has active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 regarding non-compliance with a previous order and unpermitted work involving a gas pipe installation and unauthorized modifications to garage doors. However, the property's rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2014 through 2022, indicating good pest management. The building's history shows a pattern of water-related issues and maintenance concerns, particularly affecting the basement unit, while also indicating some regulatory compliance challenges regarding unauthorized modifications and required reporting.
