5900 Arlington Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471
Skyview Apartments, an 18-story, 437-unit building constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Severo Diaz, is experiencing recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple tenant complaints about inadequate service between January and February 2025, despite HPD inspections confirming temporary restorations of service. The building has recently faced significant plumbing challenges, with nine emergency plumbing-water supply complaints logged in June 2025 alone.
Inspection records from 2023-2024 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly with Unit 18W, which has open violations for leaky faucets in both the bathroom and kitchen, as well as a documented mouse infestation (February 2023). The building's facade and mechanical systems have also been subjects of inspection and violation history, with corroded fittings and piping issues noted in 2022, and multiple violations related to low-pressure inspection filing requirements between 2019 and 2022, though these were dismissed. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of water-related issues, with 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations frequently focusing on heat/hot water and plumbing problems.
Bedbug reports indicate some pest-related challenges, though the most recent report from 2025 shows no active infestations. Historical complaints regarding building stability (2023) and boiler operation (2022) suggest ongoing concerns with building systems, though many recent complaints have been either not confirmed during inspections or marked as resolved. The building currently has several open violations from 2024 related to required postings and notices in the entrance area, including missing signs for building registration number, heating system contact information, and housing information guide availability, though some violations from 2024 related to the compactors' self-closing doors were previously closed.
