2535 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 27-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 2535 Cruger Avenue in Allerton, owned by Zoran Kuburovic and constructed in 1927, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with ten documented complaints between February and April 2025, including several involving the entire building and at least two affecting individual apartments. The building underwent significant code enforcement scrutiny in 2024, receiving multiple Notices of Violation (NOV) for various issues, including heating system access problems, inadequate heat supply in apartment 4D, and concerns about self-closing doors at the building entrance.

Earlier inspection records indicate additional historical maintenance challenges, including water leaks in apartments 2D and 4D, unauthorized alterations in the second-story public hall, and plumbing issues documented in January 2025. The property has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting, showing zero infestation cases in the past four reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, and rodent activity inspections from 2018 to 2022 indicate a pattern of rat activity followed by passing inspections in recent years, with the last recorded inspection in 2022 showing a "Passed" result.

Two complaints regarding work without a permit were filed in July 2022 but were closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has demonstrated some ability to address certain issues promptly, as evidenced by many complaints being resolved with confirmed corrections, the recurring nature of the heating and hot water problems in 2025 suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building was inspected in October 2024 for various code violations and most were closed after receiving proper certification, indicating some level of responsive management to regulatory requirements.
