401 East 144th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The 7-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 401 East 144th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Augustine Gonzalez Jr. and built in 1918, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing safety concerns regarding the boiler room, with open violations as of May 2024 related to combustible material storage (Class B violation) and defective fire door repair (Class C violation).
The building has also failed to file its required annual bedbug reports since at least 2023, representing a potential public health concern (Class A violation). A standing water complaint was investigated in September 2024 but closed with no violations found. Historical records show some previous maintenance issues that have been resolved, including bathroom repairs in 2018 for Unit 2R involving faulty flushing apparatus and defective plaster surfaces.
The building's external low pressure inspection violation from April 2023 was dismissed by July 2023. However, on a positive note, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2023, indicating effective pest management. While the building has had some code violations over the years, many have been addressed, though the most recent open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The persistent failure to file bedbug reports since 2022 is particularly concerning from a tenant safety perspective.
