2758 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 54-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 2758 Cruger Avenue in Allerton, built in 1928 and currently owned by Ms Cruger LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there were multiple complaints in April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), water leaks, and flooring issues, resulting in violations being issued that required the property owner to correct these conditions. A significant cluster of complaints occurred in March 2025, including plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers and water supply, problems with walls and plaster, and various flooring/stairs concerns, though not all of these resulted in violations.

The building has ongoing issues with rodent control, with initial inspections in 2022 and 2023 failing to meet compliance standards, though a March 2025 inspection passed. There are also multiple active Department of Buildings violations as of 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2021, and 2022. The building has undergone previous inspections and maintenance work, with specific violations documented in Apartment 2J as of December 2024, including issues with bathroom tiles, vinyl flooring, water leaks, wall conditions, and an infestation of roaches, all of which were certified as corrected by January 2025.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past four years. While some complaints have resulted in verified violations requiring correction, others have been investigated by HPD and found not to violate housing laws. The building's regulatory history includes multiple work permits issued between 2018 and 2022 for plumbing and other maintenance work, including an emergency work order in 2020 for safety concerns that was later dismissed.
