1666 Ohm Avenue, Bronx, NY 10465

The three-unit residential building at 1666 Ohm Avenue in Country Club, owned by Dominick DeOrtentiis, is a 2-story structure built in 1901 that has faced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly concerning basic utilities and habitability. Most recently, in June 2024, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint that HPD could not verify due to access issues.

Throughout 2022, the building experienced multiple utility-related complaints, including heat/hot water issues (March 2022), electric problems (no lighting), plumbing concerns, and water leaks, though inspections generally found no violations. January 2022 revealed several concerning issues in Apartment 2, including problems with window guards, water leaks, mold, and multiple necessary repairs involving heat, hot water, and pest control, particularly relating to a roach infestation. The building's current status shows several open violations from early 2022, including issues with heat supply, pest control, and maintenance of safety features.

Specifically, there are ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements (2022-2024) and a chained basement heating system access issue. The property has demonstrated a pattern of utility-related issues, with nearly annual complaints about heat and hot water, though most inspections resulted in no violation findings. Historical records show that in 2019, the building had mixed results in rodent inspections, passing one while failing others for "Other Reasons." Despite the repeated complaints and open violations, it's worth noting that many of the historical complaints have been resolved, with HPD closing the majority of cases after inspections, even if violations were not formally issued.
