3256 Olinville Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 3256 Olinville Avenue, owned by Abe Fixler and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable pest-related issues over the past few years. The property has shown recurring rodent problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2022.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) received three separate rodent-related complaints in 2021 alone, two of which were classified as conditions attracting rodents, though one inspection in October 2021 found no violations. A rat sighting complaint in May 2022 resulted in identified violations that required follow-up inspections, and while the building passed an initial rodent inspection later that August, it had previously failed another inspection in May 2022 for unspecified reasons. The building underwent a housing maintenance code inspection in 2012 that revealed an obstruction in the bathroom water closet in the first-story apartment, which was resolved by March 2019.

Additionally, a violation was recorded in 2021 concerning the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been corrected as subsequent reports between 2022 and 2024 show consistent filings with zero reported infestations or eradications. Since 2021, the building has maintained a clean record regarding both bedbugs and rodents, with all recent bedbug filings showing no evidence of infestation, and inspections have generally resulted in passing grades. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2022 marked a period with no reported violations, suggesting improved pest management practices in recent years.
