529 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 529 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Peter Kindler and constructed in 1915, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years. The most significant recent problems involved heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in February 2022, though these were reportedly resolved shortly thereafter. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with emergency complaints about water supply problems documented in October 2021 and September 2021, neither resulting in violations.
Multiple rodent-related complaints have been filed between 2018 and 2021, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 passing without issues, though previous inspections in late 2021-2022 had documented rat activity. The property has received several notable violations regarding building maintenance and safety. A 2024 inspection identified an open violation concerning the need to file an annual bedbug report, while a 2023 violation noted peeling paint in various locations within apartment 4RW.
A comprehensive inspection in September 2021 revealed multiple issues requiring attention, including problems with fire-retardant plaster in the 4th-story public hall, metal cornice roof defects, water leak issues in the 2nd-story hall, and various maintenance concerns in public areas across multiple floors. Of particular concern is an open violation from September 2021 regarding mold conditions in the east and west walls of the first-story garbage recycle room, which had not been addressed as of the most recent inspection data. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2021 to 2025 shows consistent documentation of zero infested units during each reporting period, indicating proper management of this pest issue.
