3885 Orloff Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 3885 Orloff Avenue in Kingsbridge, owned by Aryeh Mendlowic, has experienced several notable maintenance issues between May 2025 and July 2025, including multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (specifically pest-related), electrical problems with outlets/switches, and plumbing issues with water supply. During this period, Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors attempted to conduct inspections for some of these complaints but were unable to gain access, leading to the closure of several cases, with some still marked as in progress.

The building's recent history also shows a potential smoking policy violation in May 2025, for which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has issued a warning to the owner. Looking at the broader historical context, the building has maintained a regular record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested or eradicated units in the past three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024. While there have been three consecutive annual violations (2021-2023) related to the failure to file bedbug reports, these were likely addressed in subsequent years.

The property has undergone multiple inspections regarding construction compliance between 2021 and 2024, with most resulting in either "No Violation Warranted" or "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" outcomes. An Environmental Control Board violation from June 2021 noted illegal construction of an approximately 16x12-foot addition, though this was marked as resolved with no penalties. Prior to 2025, the building received routine rodent inspections between 2013 and 2018, all of which passed successfully.
