423 East 135th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-story, one-unit building at 423 East 135th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Moshe Toiv, has experienced numerous maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple open complaints as of May 2025 relating to window frames, window panes, and flooring problems. These recent complaints, along with several others from earlier in the year, including issues with electrical systems, walls, heat/hot water, and plumbing, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, there are multiple open violations from an October 2024 inspection of the ground floor apartment, including problems with plaster surfaces, roach infestation, vinyl floor tiles, and missing safety detectors, along with water leak issues at the bathroom ceiling.

The building's heating system has faced multiple complaints, including an emergency complaint in January 2025 about lack of heat/hot water. The property has a checkered history of maintenance violations and service requests, with some inspections in 2025 having been unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The building also has an open Environmental Control Board violation from November 2024 regarding unpermitted electrical work on the top floor, with an imposed penalty of $2,500.

While rodent inspections from 2021-2023 show compliance, there were notable issues recorded in 2010. The building has been required to submit bedbug reports, with the most recent filing in 2021 showing no infested or re-infested units during the specified period, though two open bedbug report violations from March and April 2024 remain unaddressed. The combination of open violations, recent maintenance complaints, and the building's age (constructed in 1901) suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and maintenance response times.
