2512 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

This 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 2512 Cruger Avenue in Allerton was constructed in 2008 and is currently owned by Javier Monroy. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and maintenance issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints regarding water-related problems including heavy and slow leaks, heat and hot water outages, and unsanitary conditions such as mold. Most notably, between 2023 and 2024, there were several emergencies related to heat/hot water (with violations issued in September 2023), water leaks, and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 3B, which showed persistent issues with water leaks and mold that were officially documented in November 2023 inspections.

The building has also had regular complaints about heat and hot water systems, with the most recent issues occurring in 2024. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2022, and passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022, following earlier bait application interventions in 2015. The property has consistently demonstrated difficulty with access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints being closed due to inability to inspect the reported conditions, including complaints about water supply issues in February 2024 and heavy water leaks in August 2024.

While some violations have been resolved, including various repairs in December 2023, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and building upkeep. The building's documented history shows a significant concentration of plumbing and maintenance issues between 2023 and 2024, with at least 10 separate complaints/violations related to water problems, including both emergency and non-emergency classifications. The property has had a mix of resolved and pending issues, with some recent complaints being closed without inspection access, indicating potential ongoing problems. The documentation shows that while regular inspections have been conducted, the pattern of recurring complaints suggests challenges in maintaining consistent building systems performance and resident comfort.
