465 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 465 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, currently owned by Josue Velazquez, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, an open complaint as of April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage indicates ongoing waste management challenges. The building has also faced multiple heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints in late 2024 and earlier instances in 2019 and 2018.
A significant cluster of maintenance problems emerged in 2023, centered around Apartment 1B, including issues with mold (approximately 4 square feet), water leaks, peeling paint, and plumbing problems. The building's history shows persistent rodent activity between 2021-2023, though most recently in July 2023 it passed inspection. There were also ventilation issues noted in 2024 regarding a defective self-closing door.
The property has maintained compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the most recent 2023-2024 reporting period. While violations have been consistently addressed and closed over time, including a 2024 violation regarding carbon monoxide detectors and various bedbug reporting requirements, an active DOB violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file a 2023 external low pressure inspection remains outstanding. The building's management has obtained the necessary permits for various maintenance work, including one issued in 2018 for plumbing-related work. Recent inspections in 2024 confirmed compliance with most housing maintenance codes, though direct access to some units during inspections has occasionally limited verification of conditions.
