54 Evelyn Place, Bronx, NY 10468
54 Evelyn Place is a 5-story, 65-unit residential building located in University Heights, built in 1925 and currently owned by Manuel Castillo. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open violations as of mid-2025, including electrical problems, unsanitary conditions, and various structural deficiencies. Notable current open complaints include unsanitary conditions with pests (opened June 2025), multiple electrical and structural complaints (April 2025), and several open violations from June 2025 related to electrical, plumbing, paint/plaster, and flooring issues.
The building underwent an HPD inspection in December 2024 that identified various violations in apartment 2H, including issues with the radiator shut-off knobs, plaster surfaces, electrical range stove, roach infestation, bathroom water leak, bathtub caulking, and hallway wall paint, though many of these violations were certified as corrected between January and February 2025. The property has a concerning history of pest and rodent issues, with consistent reports of rat activity between 2023-2025, though it passed compliance inspections in April 2025. Bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show mostly zero incidents, with only one infested unit reported in 2021-2022.
The building has faced multiple complaints about illegal conversions between 2020-2022, though inspections found no violations at the time. Recent maintenance issues have included problems with doors and windows, ceilings, walls, and electrical systems, particularly concentrated around April-June 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. However, some historical issues have been resolved, as evidenced by multiple closed violations from past years, including a December 2024 inspection that found no violations warranting penalties at that time.
