5700 Arlington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

Skyview Owners Corp's 16-story, 437-unit residential building at 5700 Arlington Avenue in North Riverdale, constructed in 1961, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active housing maintenance code violations from October 2023 in apartment 4W concerning water leaks, ceiling and wall damage, electrical issues, and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. The building has faced recurring plumbing problems in 2025, with multiple emergency water supply complaints and issues involving bathtubs/showers and sinks, though some inspection attempts could not gain access to verify these conditions.

A series of indoor air quality complaints in early 2025 related to construction dust and chemical odors also indicates potential environmental concerns. The property's maintenance history reveals a pattern of infrastructure challenges, including heat and hot water issues documented in late 2024, and flooring repairs needed in 2024. While the building has successfully addressed some problems, as evidenced by HPD inspections finding no violations in certain cases, the persistence of specific open violations, particularly regarding basic safety systems like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, raises concerns.

The building has undergone multiple inspections for compliance with Local Law 188/17 and has had several elevator-related violations in previous years, though these were ultimately dismissed. The bedbug reporting history shows occasional infestations between 2019-2021, but recent reports from 2022-2024 indicate zero infested units. Rodent inspections present mixed results, with some pass/fail outcomes suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.
