3601 Olinville Avenue, Bronx, NY 10467

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 3601 Olinville Avenue, owned by Mariama Ceesay, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there are three active Class B violations issued on April 10, 2024, relating to unlawful modifications in the basement, including an illegal Class "A" apartment with installed gas appliances, plumbing fixtures, and bathroom facilities. These violations also cite the need to restore proper occupancy status and file appropriate permits.

More recently, in 2025, complaints about building stability were reported, with inspections noting structural monitoring requirements and concerns about bulging walls at the rear of the building. Between 2022 and 2025, the building has maintained a consistent record of complying with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations, and has generally passed rodent inspections, though bait was applied in early 2019. The building has had recurring maintenance issues, with documented complaints in late 2023 regarding water leaks and ceiling problems, though these were resolved without any violations being issued.

The property has a history of requiring bedbug report submissions from 2021-2024, though no infestations were recorded during these periods. The illegal basement conversion, which has resulted in multiple open violations and penalties, appears to be the most pressing concern affecting the building's regulatory compliance and resident safety. While the building's earlier years showed regular compliance with various safety inspections, the recent pattern of violations and complaints suggests emerging maintenance and compliance challenges that require monitoring.
