Questions about this building

Does 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx had 27 open violations on October 10, 2026: 27 from HPD. 8 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 4 years, since June 2, 2022.

Is 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 64 certifications filed against 7 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 53 Class C violations: 44 by the original certify-by date, 9 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Has DOB received complaints about 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed January 18, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

What did the latest facade report find at 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed February 16, 2024 (inspection cycle 9). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Does 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued June 20, 2018. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When was the boiler at 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx last inspected?

It has 2 boilers, both inspected in 2026, the latest on July 14. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 22, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

The building has a 421-a tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. DOF lists its start year as 2020. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 2016 as the year 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 8 floors.

How many apartments does 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 38 residential units at 1685 Monroe Avenue, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, DOB facade filings, DOB certificates of occupancy, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
