25 Hillside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 6-story, 142-unit building at 25 Hillside Avenue, owned by David Radoncic, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, particularly in the first half of 2025. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout April 2025, with at least ten separate reports indicating building-wide problems, though inspections were frequently unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced persistent elevator issues, with multiple complaints in 2024 and 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," resulting in Oath Violations being served.

Three separate boiler-related complaints were filed in early 2025, with one from February resulting in no violation being warranted at the time of inspection. The building has documented several active ECB violations, including one from December 2024 related to elevator maintenance requiring immediate attention, and another from September 2024 regarding disrepair of Bedroom walls in Apartment 5B. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in late 2024, particularly affecting Apartments 5B and 5F, with issues including water leaks, infestation problems, and various repair needs. The property has shown some history of bedbug and rodent issues, though recent inspections from 2024 and 2023 passed, suggesting improvements in pest control.

The building's energy efficiency compliance appears to be lacking, with multiple active DOB violations citing failure to submit required documentation between 2023-2025. The property has a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance issues, with recent focus predominantly on heating, elevator, and pest control challenges. While there have been numerous repair requests and violations over the past two years, particularly regarding building systems and unit-specific problems, the management has generally addressed most issues through necessary permits and repairs, as evidenced by the issuance of several plumbing and electrical permits between 2018-2019. However, the pattern of repeated elevator and heating complaints suggests ongoing system maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and accessibility.
