416 East 137th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 66-unit, 6-story building at 416 East 137th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Betances Rad LLC and constructed in 1973, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). The most recent concerns include an open refrigerator complaint from May 2025, and several plumbing issues including multiple water supply-related emergencies in 2025. Noteworthy past incidents include three power outage complaints in 2025 (two on January 20), heat/hot water problems in 2024, and a persistent pest issue with a confirmed cockroach infestation in apartment 1C during 2023.

The building has a documented history of elevator service interruption complaints, with multiple reports between 2019-2024, though recent inspections in 2024 showed compliance with elevator safety requirements. Significant systemic issues have been identified, including violations for inadequate heating (January 2024), problems with the building facade (noted in 2019), and various complaints about apartment conditions such as flooring defects, window guards, and sanitation concerns. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2023-2024, including a notable C-class violation for heat system access (January 2024) and B-class violations for floor repairs and pest control (February 2023).

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) and maintained a bedbug-free record in recent filings, persistent issues with water supply, electrical problems, and heating systems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as evidenced by most issues being marked as closed, though some recent complaints remain open. Multiple permits for various repairs and maintenance work have been issued between 2019-2020, indicating ongoing property maintenance efforts by the ownership.
