436 East 145th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 2-family house at 436 East 145th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Herman Cornejo, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to sanitation. Most recently, in early 2023, there were two related incidents involving sewage, with complaints filed in February (sewage odor) and March (sewage leak), though no violations were issued following the Department of Health's investigations.

Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, with at least eight separate reports filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, no violations were ultimately issued. The property also incurred two official violations related to sanitation issues: a 2021 violation concerning yard refuse accumulation and a 2022 violation regarding insufficient garbage receptacles, though both were subsequently closed.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated effective pest control management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent 2024 filing, and all previously infested units (2 in total) reportedly eradicated. Additionally, rodent inspections have consistently resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in May 2023 showing compliance with health standards. The building, constructed in 1990, is a three-story structure containing two units, and while it has faced recurring sanitation challenges, recent records indicate improved management of pest-related issues as compared to prior years.
