430B East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

430B East 139th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2006 in the Mott Haven neighborhood, currently owned by HR 139 St LLC. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a water leak in January 2021 (heavy flow, resolved within four days).

Throughout 2019-2020, there were multiple incidents involving heat and hot water complaints, with two separate incidents in February 2020 (one requiring inspection and one where heat was reportedly restored), as well as an appliance issue with a refrigerator in June 2020. Additional electrical concerns were reported in December 2019, though none of these complaints resulted in violations. The building faced more significant concerns in mid-2020, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, specifically in Apartment 3, including pest infestations (roaches and mice) and issues with window guards.

While these violations were certified as addressed by July 2020, and subsequent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations, the property had three consecutive years (2020-2022) with citations for not filing the annual bedbug report, though this pattern appears to have finally been resolved. On a positive note, recent rodent inspections (most recently in May 2023) have consistently passed, showing improved pest management. The building's most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 were related to bedbug reporting requirements, but there have been no significant maintenance complaints or violations recorded in the past two years (2023-2025), suggesting improved maintenance practices.
