338 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The 8-unit, 4-story building at 338 East 139th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Moshe Altmark and built in 2008, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concern over persistent rodent activity and various infrastructure problems. Most recently in April 2025, there was a ceiling paint/plaster issue that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete.
The building has had recurring rodent problems throughout 2024, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application between February and August 2024. Water-related issues were notable as well, with a heavy flow water leak documented in October 2024 that resulted in violations, and several emergency maintenance requests in 2025 related to plumbing and other infrastructure problems.
Previous violations and maintenance issues include problems with heat and hot water in January 2022, unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage in late 2021, and various safety matters in 2022 including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 4B, and locked access to the building's heating system. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported in recent years, with all annual reports indicating zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. While many past violations have been closed, the pattern of recent complaints and inspections indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control, particularly during 2024-2025.
