409 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The property at 409 East 139th Street in Mott Haven is a historically converted 2-story building constructed in 1892, currently owned by Carmen Rivera. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent incident occurring in December 2024 involving heat/hot water problems that were reportedly corrected after HPD intervention.

Between 2018 and 2021, the building faced multiple housing maintenance code violations including issues with doors, windows, ventilation systems, walls, and flooring, all of which were addressed and closed within reasonable timeframes. Notably, the building has an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicating non-compliance with this particular regulation.

The property's rodent control history is somewhat mixed, with confirmed rat activity reported in June 2021 and October 2012, though most recent inspections in 2022 and 2021 resulted in "Passed" ratings. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep is being performed, as most complaints have been resolved promptly, with HPD verifying corrections in multiple instances. While the building exhibits some recurring issues requiring attention, particularly the bedbug reporting compliance, many past complaints have been addressed appropriately when reported, indicating a generally responsive property management approach to maintenance issues though with notable gaps in meeting certain regulatory requirements.
