454 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The property at 454 East 134th Street in Port Morris is a two-story, converted Class B building with one unit, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by 134 Lofts II LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2023, there was a violation issued for failure to file the 2019 external low pressure inspection documentation, which remains active.

The building has undergone regular bedbug inspections and reporting from 2021 through 2025, consistently showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. The property has a history of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2020-2021, when multiple complaints regarding plumbing (including bathtub, shower, and toilet issues), unsanitary conditions (including mold), and various infrastructure problems were reported and subsequently closed, though some violations were issued during inspections. These included electrical outlet/switch issues, flooring problems, water leaks, and ceiling plaster/paint concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 2.

Safety concerns were also documented during this period, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which were classified as emergencies but were eventually closed. Earlier issues include a gas utility referral from 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access. On a positive note, recent rodent inspections in 2023 passed, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods.
