3214 Cruger Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 3214 Cruger Avenue in Williamsbridge, constructed in 2018 and owned by Geraldo Zefi, has experienced recurring water-related issues throughout its relatively short history. Most notably, there is currently an open emergency complaint regarding heavy water flow that was filed in late February 2025, following several other water leak incidents. Between 2022 and 2025, the building has undergone multiple repairs for water-related problems, including heavy and slow leaks, with the most recent being documented in June 2025 as a non-emergency damp spot issue.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including ceiling and wall paint/plaster issues in 2024, and multiple violations requiring repairs to damaged surfaces in both apartments 1B and 4B. During the construction phase, which took place between 2018-2019, several serious safety violations were documented, including lack of proper guard rails, improper hoisting equipment, and other construction safety compliance issues that resulted in penalties. These violations were subsequently resolved.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units based on annual filings since 2020. Rodent inspections conducted in March 2021 passed, and the building's bedbug reporting requirements have been consistently met with no infestations reported in recent years. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older structures, the majority have been addressed through HPD inspections, with no violations typically resulting from these inspections. The property owner has generally complied with HPD requirements to repair and address maintenance concerns, though some complaints have been filed due to access issues for inspections, particularly in early 2022.
