392 Oliver Place, Bronx, NY 10458

392 Oliver Place is a 6-story, 32-unit residential building located in Fordham, built in 1926 and currently owned by Mark Engel. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints documented between January and June 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in June 2025, there were several maintenance issues reported including electrical problems (lighting and outlet issues), water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and a window frame issue.

The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges as evidenced by numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations, with several open violations as of 2024-2025 including issues related to apartment 15's flooring, wall surfaces, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen cabinet conditions. A notable infestation issue was identified and resolved in apartment 14 in 2024. Regular safety inspections have shown generally positive results, with the building passing rodent inspections consistently from 2017 through 2024.

Bedbug inspections from 2019 to 2024 have consistently reported no infestations. The building's recent history shows particular concern regarding heat/hot water reliability and various maintenance issues, though emergency responses have generally resulted in prompt resolution of reported problems. While some inspection attempts by HPD have been unable to gain access to units, most recent complaints have been addressed through follow-up inspections or reported corrections by building management. The building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though with a particular pattern of heating system-related complaints in recent months.
