411 East 141st Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 3-story building at 411 East 141st Street in Mott Haven, owned by Steve Kates, is a formerly converted Class B structure built in 1901. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, most notably related to pest infestations, water issues, and safety violations. As of July 2025, there are active violations regarding low-pressure boiler inspections dating back to 2019-2023, with associated penalties totaling $31,125.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2024, including issues with water leaks, plaster, paint, and mold in Apartment 12, and roach infestations in Apartment 1R. The building has undergone inspection and treatment for rodent activity throughout 2023-2024, with several bait applications documented between July and October 2023. Recent service requests in 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including issues with doors, walls, and refrigeration units, though most of these complaints were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection.

There have been multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and egress issues between 2024 and 2025, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. The building's emergency systems have come under scrutiny, with violations noted for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 1R, and there are outstanding safety compliance issues related to entrance doors. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to reporting records from 2023-2024, the property continues to grapple with various infrastructural and maintenance challenges that appear to be ongoing as of mid-2025.
