511 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-story residential building at 511 East 139th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Zolya Bravo, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with complaints filed through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code systems in January and February of that year. In both instances, emergency inspections were requested for the entire building, but access to individual apartments could not be obtained for verification of the reported conditions.

The building has also faced ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, with open violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules, with citations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024. The property's rodent control history shows variable conditions, with rat activity noted during an April 2023 inspection, though subsequent compliance inspections in May and June of 2023 resulted in passing grades.

Earlier records from 2012 show multiple instances of bait application, suggesting previous mouse or rat infestations that appeared to be brought under control. While the building was constructed in 2005 and has met some basic regulatory requirements, the combination of recent heating system failures and persistent bedbug reporting violations indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that require attention. The most recent issues involving heat and hot water systems, in particular, represent the most immediate concern, though these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection.
