3034 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-unit residential building at 3034 Cruger Avenue in Williamsbridge, owned by Johnson Akintayo, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding basic services and maintenance. Most notably, as of January 2025, there are open complaints regarding electrical wiring and flooring issues, as well as an emergency complaint about heating and hot water systems.

The building has a troubling pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple incidents in late 2023 and early 2025, some of which resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. The property has also faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by rodent inspections showing rat activity in 2023, and earlier complaints about pests in August 2023. The building's compliance record reveals several open violations, including multiple citations for failing to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, and issues with waste management receptacles noted in 2021.

Safety concerns have been highlighted through complaints about building stability (October 2024) and an illegal structure violation related to an unpermitted roof extension (October 2024) with a $2,500 penalty. While some earlier service issues were resolved, such as power outages in 2021 and 2023, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property, constructed in 1930, has a documented history of electrical issues, as evidenced by multiple electrical-related complaints between 2021 and 2025, including a power outage complaint in January 2023, and heating problems that have persisted despite multiple complaint filings.
