342 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The 16-unit, 5-story building at 342 East 139th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Denita Graham and built in 1931, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants between May and June 2025, all related to building-wide problems. The building's heating system has been consistently problematic, with open violations from 2023-2024 indicating issues with hot water supply and heating adequacy in multiple apartments, as well as accessibility problems with the boiler room.
A pattern of boiler-related complaints is evident, with records showing violations for defective equipment and improper maintenance as far back as 2021, including issues with leaking circulators, a defective barometric damper, and corroded piping. Recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including an active violation from 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports and multiple open violations related to the building's heating system.
The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021), with these violations currently listed as active. While rodent control efforts have been documented through multiple bait applications in 2023, with the most recent inspections showing mixed results, the building passed compliance inspections from 2010-2020. The property has experienced some structural concerns, though investigations in 2025 found no violations warranted for building shaking/vibration complaints.
