410 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 410 East 134th Street in Port Morris, owned by Luis Garcia, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Most notably, in October 2018, the building faced multiple emergency situations involving safety concerns with both carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, along with electrical lighting problems, water leakages, intercom issues, and pest-related complaints.

These violations were officially documented and subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recent inspections reveal ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Apartment 2 has been the focus of multiple violations during 2022, including issues with pest infestation (mice), defective carbon monoxide detector, broken entrance lock, damaged bathroom ceiling, leaky kitchen sink faucet, and non-functional smoke detector, though these violations are not all individually listed as currently certified. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2023, 2017, and 2016, suggesting some improvement in pest management, the pattern of violations, including the persistence of bedbug reporting issues, indicates continuing maintenance challenges. The building was constructed in 1931 and retains its original four-story structure, though it's worth noting that all violation statuses were recorded as "Open" as of the most recent inspection data, indicating that some issues may still require attention and resolution.
