2528 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2528 Cruger Avenue is a 6-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Moshe Piller. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues in recent years, with three documented incidents of water leaks between 2023 and 2025, including one slow leak and two instances of heavy flow. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a pest infestation (April 2024), unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions (multiple incidents in late 2023), and an emergency window guard issue (June 2023).

In 2024, significant violations were documented in Apartment 5B, including the need for repairs to safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), plumbing fixtures, and the presence of water damage, while also requiring interior painting. The building underwent substantial repairs following a fire incident in March 2020 that affected the 6th floor and roof, resulting in significant damage requiring emergency work and subsequent permits for restoration. This fire-related work included repairs to fire-damaged windows, roof stabilization, and interior restoration across multiple floors.

The property has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations since 2021 and successful rodent inspections in recent years. Elevator maintenance has been a recurring focus, with complaints about single-device service being investigated in multiple years, though inspections found no violations. Recent violations from 2024 include various building code infractions, such as improper lock installation and damaged entrance vestibule features, though most have been marked as resolved through subsequent corrections.
