2514 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 2514 Cruger Avenue in Allerton, owned by Javier Monroy and constructed in 2008, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout 2025, with particular clusters of problems arising in May 2025. During this period, multiple HPD complaints were filed regarding various issues including heat/hot water problems, appliance malfunctions, electrical concerns, unsanitary conditions (pests), ceiling paint/plaster issues, plumbing problems, and water leaks. HPD was generally unable to conduct inspections in response to these complaints, though follow-up housing maintenance code complaints were subsequently filed and closed. The building has an established history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple violations and complaints.

In 2024, significant issues were documented in apartment 3B, including a mouse infestation, intercom system problems, ceiling repair needs, and door maintenance issues. Apartment 1A also had several violations in 2024, including refrigerator door seal problems, floor issues, paint requirements, fire egress concerns, and a roach infestation. While the building underwent various repairs and inspections, as indicated by the closure of many violations, issues have persisted, particularly regarding water systems and pest control. The building's history also includes significant infrastructure concerns dating back to 2018, such as a complaint about defective/exposed electrical wiring and a maintenance issue with building walls on the roof.

The property's bedbug and rodent inspection records show consistent monitoring and management. The building has reported zero incidences of bedbug infestations in the most recent year (2024-2025), with previous years indicating successful eradication efforts. Rodent inspections in 2017 and 2022 both resulted in passing scores, though a roach infestation violation was recorded in 2024. The current state of the building suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to address the recent clusters of complaints from May 2025, which remain largely unresolved due to access issues during HPD inspections. While some historical violations have been addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues indicates potential challenges with prompt and effective property upkeep.
