2525 Olinville Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story, eight-unit residential building at 2525 Olinville Avenue in Allerton, owned by Yerucham Israel and built in 1960, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with plumbing and water supply, including a May 2025 complaint that was reportedly resolved, and an unsanitary condition related to pests in late 2024.

The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2020-2024, including mouse and rat sightings that warranted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections. The property has also faced significant heating and hot water system challenges, particularly in November 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed about inadequate heat and hot water, affecting various units. These heating issues were documented in multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

In 2018, there were several concerning complaints about potential illegal construction work and plumbing modifications, including an investigation into a possible illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. A notable violation was recorded in 2019 regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous Class 1 ECB violation, which was later dismissed in 2021. The building has had three consecutive years of bedbug reporting (2023-2025) with no infestations detected in any units during the reported periods, suggesting effective pest management in this regard.
