5800 Arlington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471

As of July 2025, 5800 Arlington Avenue, an 18-story, 435-unit residential building in North Riverdale built in 1961, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations over recent years. Most notably, there are current open violations from December 2024 related to mold, wall conditions, gas supply issues, and various repair needs in apartment 20W, including problems with the terrace lock, plaster surfaces, wood floor, and appliances. The building has also faced recurring heating and water supply problems, with emergency complaints recorded in December 2024 and June 2025 specifically regarding heat/hot water in the entire building and multiple water supply issues.

A series of 311 service requests in late 2024/early 2025 highlighted concerns with heating, appliances, and electrical systems, some of which resulted in violations. The property has a history of elevator-related safety violations, including an ECB violation in 2022 for corroded equipment and missing safety components, though these were resolved with a penalty of $625. Earlier issues from 2019-2021 included problems with facade safety, construction compliance, and unauthorized work, with associated penalties for safety violations.

The building's management has generally maintained good pest control practices in recent years, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past two years, though there were several cases in 2019-2020. Recent interior inspections have consistently passed rodent inspections since 2012, with only one failure noted in 2014. External facade inspections have shown compliance with regulations, though there were earlier issues with documentation filings that resulted in violations, all of which were subsequently dismissed.
