404 East 141st Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 21-unit, 5-story tenement building at 404 East 141st Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Luis Garcia, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's electrical infrastructure, with a power outage reported as recently as March 2025, and multiple access issues preventing inspections of complaints in 2024, including water leaks and appliance problems.

The building has a documented history of plumbing and sanitary concerns, particularly in July 2024, when violations were issued regarding bathroom fixtures and mold. There have also been recurring heat and hot water system problems, with multiple complaints between 2020 and 2021, though records indicate these systems were restored when inspectors arrived. More recent inspections (September 2024) revealed several open violations regarding safety notification requirements, including missing smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, as well as the need to post gas leak procedures and housing information guides.

The building's plumbing systems continue to show issues, as evidenced by July 2024 violations related to waste lines in apartment 2B. While rodent inspections from 2019 through 2023 show mostly passing results, there were indications of rat activity in mid-2023. The Department of Buildings currently shows an active violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report, which remains unresolved as of the latest data.
