467 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-story two-family house at 467 East 138th Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Ivan Chik, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in January 2025, there were two significant incidents: a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, and an unsanitary animal complaint that resulted in a health department inspection with no violations found. While rodent-related issues were previously documented, with inspections showing both failed and passed results between 2019 and 2025, recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions.

The building's bedbug reports for the periods between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 show no infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases, indicating successful pest management. Historical records from various authorities reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water emergency in January 2025 and a rodent condition complaint in 2019. The Department of Buildings inspection from 2019 regarding water retention and drainage issues could not be completed due to access problems.

Despite these concerns, the building has maintained a pattern of passing regular rodent inspections since 2020, with only two failures recorded in 2019 during the same period as a rodent condition complaint. The property has also undergone multiple health department inspections, including a 2025 inspection related to dog complaints that found no violations. The relatively new construction (built in 2004) coupled with recent successful inspections suggests ongoing efforts to maintain the building, though the recent heat/hot water issues and previous rodent concerns indicate some persistent challenges.
