2572 Wallace Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

2572 Wallace Avenue is a 5-story, 45-unit residential building located in the Allerton neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Marc Fishman. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past few years, with the most recent issues in 2025 including multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations related to entry systems, cooking gas, and heat/hot water services.

Of particular concern is the building's structural and safety history from 2022, where three violations remain active: failure to provide an engineer's report regarding structural deficiencies (ECB violation), the presence of ceiling collapse conditions in multiple apartments, and concerns about building stability that resulted in partial vacate orders. Apartment 5A has multiple open violations from 2024 regarding safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), plumbing issues, water leaks, and pest infestations. The property has shown persistent issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspection results between 2022 and 2024 showing rat activity, with the most recent inspections in October and December 2024 confirming ongoing problems.

There have been numerous 311 service requests in 2025 alone, including complaints about unsanitary conditions, broken appliances, heating issues, and various building system failures. Historical documents indicate the building has faced multiple emergency situations, particularly in 2022 when there were reports of building shaking and structural concerns. The building's owners appear to have struggled to maintain compliance with various safety and maintenance standards, as indicated by multiple open violations, including those related to building safety systems, structural integrity, and pest control.
