354 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

354 East 134th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Adi Altmark and located in the Port Morris neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past decade, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in December 2018 that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

In 2019, multiple violations were recorded that raised concerns about resident safety, including exposed electrical wires on multiple floors, a loose wood handrail on the third-story stairs, and an unsecured sprinkler system valve in the cellar, though all these violations were subsequently closed. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2025.

Recent inspections show an improvement in overall conditions, with a rodent inspection in May 2023 passing successfully, following a pattern of rat activity noted in late 2018. The most recent bedbug report from January 2025 for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 has been filed correctly, showing no infested or re-infested units, which is consistent with previous years' records. The property has demonstrated ongoing attention to compliance requirements, as evidenced by the timely resolution of various violations and proper documentation of pest control efforts, though the presence of rat activity in 2018 suggests there were past challenges with vermin control that appear to have been addressed in subsequent years.
