2440 Olinville Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2440 Olinville Avenue is an 83-unit, 11-story residential building in Allerton, constructed in 1965 and currently owned by David Radoncic. The property has demonstrated persistent maintenance challenges, particularly evident in a recent cluster of complaints from June 2025, including water leaks, mold, and various interior maintenance issues (walls, ceilings, doors, and plumbing). Tenants have experienced recurring issues with the building's basic systems, as shown by violations issued for slow water leaks, problematic ceilings, and multiple instances of HPD being unable to complete inspections of reported problems.

The building's violation history reveals ongoing concerns with elevator maintenance, plumbing systems, and life safety equipment, including multiple citations for failure to file required exterior low-pressure inspection reports from 2019-2022 and various issues with self-closing doors and water temperature controls. Recent inspections between 2022 and 2025 have consistently recorded rat activity, indicating an ongoing pest management challenge. The building has gone through several bedbug-related incidents, with the most recent reports showing some units requiring eradication treatment, though recent filings (for 2024) indicate no active infestations.

Compliance issues have spanned multiple years, with violations related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance deficiencies, though many of these violations have been marked as "Closed" after corrective actions. The property experienced a "Partial Vacate Order" related to maintenance failures in February 2025, suggesting serious concerns about habitability conditions. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of delayed responses to violations and complaints, with multiple service requests requiring follow-up inspections and periodic emergency maintenance interventions.
