AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family residential building at 2525 Paulding Avenue in Allerton, owned by Thomas Testa, is a 2-story structure built in 1925 that has undergone a historical conversion to Class A status. The property has maintained a clean record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three annual reporting periods (2024, 2023, 2022) and successful rodent control inspections in 2023 and 2012. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to external structure issues, with a 2020 citation for deteriorated mortar on the parapet wall that was subsequently resolved.

The Department of Buildings records from 2019-2020 indicate multiple complaints regarding potential illegal commercial use in the residential zone, with two resulting in Oath Violations Served. These issues appear to have been addressed, as no similar complaints have been filed in recent years. A notable housing maintenance code violation was recorded in February 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been corrected, as evidenced by the subsequent clean bedbug reports. There was also a parking regulations violation documented in April 2019, which was resolved with no penalties. The building's most recent inspection records suggest improved overall maintenance compliance, with no significant violations or complaints recorded in the past three years.
