404 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The property at 404 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Ivoone Guevara, is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1899. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with a notable cluster of plumbing-related problems emerging in early 2023, including multiple reports of water supply issues and sink problems. March 2023 saw multiple complaints regarding various building systems, including heating, door/wind, and pest-related concerns, though most of these inspections resulted in no violations being issued.

Several violations were documented in March 2023 related to doors/windows and a cabinet, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development addressed heating and water supply issues during inspections. In late 2023 and early 2024, the building faced significant regulatory scrutiny, including investigations into potential illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy violations. Multiple inspection attempts in June and August 2023 resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" documentation.

Of particular concern was a March 2023 complaint regarding a defective/inoperative boiler, which resulted in an Oath Violation. In 2024, the building showed no signs of bedbug infestation, with the most recent reporting period indicating zero infested units, though this data only covers November 2022 to October 2023. The most recent building activity in 2025 involved a Special Operations Compliance Inspection that resulted in an Oath Violation being served on April 8, 2025.
