462 East 144th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 6-story, 60-unit residential building at 462 East 144th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Daniel Johansson, has experienced several maintenance and inspection issues since its construction in 2013. Most recently, in 2025, there were multiple tenant complaints about paint/plaster issues and water leaks, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these problems. Earlier in 2025, there were concerns about lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, along with various maintenance issues including problems with walls, ceilings, and bathrooms, many of which were also inaccessible for inspection.

The building has documented instances of pest issues, with roach infestations reported in apartments 207 (2023) and 201 (2022), though these violations were eventually closed. The property has seen recurring issues with building systems and maintenance, including a 2023 violation for missing carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 207, and various plumbing and maintenance concerns in multiple units. A bedbug infestation was reported in 2024 affecting 2 units, though they were subsequently eradicated.

Inspection records show the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2023. Recent exterior concerns include a 2025 complaint about debris/overlay issues, though the vacate order was fully rescinded. Previous maintenance issues have included heating system problems, door and window maintenance, and multiple paint/plaster concerns. The building's age and location have contributed to these various maintenance challenges, with most recent complaints showing difficulty in securing building access for inspections.
