349 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
349 East 138th Street is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building located in Mott Haven, built in 1931 and currently owned by Marc Chemtob. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2020 when multiple rodent sightings were reported, along with a significant unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The property has also faced electrical infrastructure challenges, with an emergency power outage incident recorded in May 2019. Inspection records reveal that the building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2017, and most recently in May 2023. The building had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in September 2020, primarily related to safety signage requirements, including notifications for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bedbug reporting.
However, these violations were resolved by 2023, with records showing proper certification of compliance. Importantly, the building's recent bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024 shows consistently zero reported infested units, indicating successful pest management practices. While there have been recurring issues with garbage storage and building signage requirements in the past, recent inspections suggest improved maintenance standards, particularly regarding pest control and violation resolution.
