415 East 136th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

415 East 136th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Anthony Lopez and constructed in 1893. The building underwent an extensive Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) inspection in November 2022, revealing multiple safety compliance issues that required remediation, including missing required notices regarding heating system access, gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and smoke detector requirements in common areas.

The building also needed to address physical safety concerns, such as defective self-closing entrance doors and various encumbrances in public areas, including household items and unauthorized lockable rings on the scuttle hatch cover. All identified violations were subsequently closed between late 2022 and early 2023, with certifications showing compliance with the necessary corrections.

The property has demonstrated a consistent lack of bedbug infestations, as evidenced by five consecutive annual reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infestations. Additionally, the building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, passing all four inspections conducted between 2010 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 confirming the absence of rodent issues. While the 2022 HMC violations indicated some lapses in building maintenance and safety protocols, the prompt resolution of these issues and the building's continued absence of pest and rodent problems over the years suggests a generally stable living environment.
