3041 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The four-story, 43-unit residential building at 3041 Cruger Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Zef Kalaj and built in 1930, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, the building received simultaneous complaints about unsanitary conditions related to mold and a slow water leak, though inspections were not completed.

Earlier in 2024, there was an active complaint regarding construction lead dust affecting common areas and apartments. The building has also faced past safety concerns, including a smoke detector issue in late 2021 that was verified as corrected by HPD. A significant Housing Maintenance Code violation was recorded in March 2023 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent reports from 2025 show zero infested units across multiple reporting periods since 2019, indicating effective pest management.

Both rodent inspections conducted in 2022 and 2023 passed, suggesting good sanitation practices in this regard. The building has a history of air quality concerns, with a 2022 DOHMH complaint recorded, though it was addressed through official communication to management. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, it is worth noting the prompt closure of many complaints and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years, indicating some improvement in overall building maintenance and pest control.
