1537 Crosby Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

The two-family house at 1537 Crosby Avenue in Schuylerville, owned by Benedetto Mondello, is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1930. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being an unsanitary condition related to garbage and recycling storage in April 2024, which, while investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), did not result in any violations.

In May 2023, there was a complaint regarding a refrigerator issue, though this also resulted in no violations upon inspection. Of particular concern are five separate mold-related complaints filed between January and February 2020, all categorized as emergency situations, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in each case.

The building has also faced regulatory compliance issues, with three violations issued in 2023 related to failure to file required inspection reports for external low-pressure systems in 2018 and 2021, as well as an annual boiler inspection from 2017; however, all these violations were subsequently dismissed. While the building has had multiple complaints and violations on record, it's notable that many complaints resulted in no violations being issued, suggesting prompt responses from authorities, though access issues were a recurring theme in the mold complaints. The property has had no major incidents reported since the mold complaints of 2020, and all recent complaints have been addressed through the appropriate channels, even if some were ultimately unfounded.
