3231 Olinville Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The 7-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3231 Olinville Avenue, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Kathy Richardson, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Notable incidents include a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in October 2019 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and an apartment-specific heating problem in July 2018 that resulted in issued violations.

The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, including a heat-related violation in July 2018 for excessive radiator temperatures in Apartment C, and two separate violations regarding fire retardant material and paint conditions in the lobby area during the same inspection period. The building's boiler maintenance has required attention, evidenced by a November 2019 violation for failure to file an annual inspection report, though this was later dismissed with the payment of a $1,000 penalty.

More recent records indicate improved conditions regarding pests and cleanliness, with the building showing consistent compliance in its bedbug reporting obligations from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units during this period. Additionally, the property has passed rodent inspections conducted in November 2018 and July 2022, suggesting effective pest management practices. Two separate bedbug-related violations were noted in 2022 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual reports, though these appear to be administrative rather than indicative of any infestation issues, as subsequent filings show no affected units.
