341 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

341 East 138th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story old-law tenement building located in the Mott Haven neighborhood, owned by Steve Zervoudis and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant current concerns being plumbing-related, as evidenced by two open/closed complaints regarding water supply issues in June 2025. Between March 2023 and September 2023, multiple non-emergency complaints were filed and addressed, including problems with doors/windows, paint/plaster, appliances (refrigerator), and plumbing (bathtub/shower), though no violations were issued upon inspection.

A notable emergency complaint in December 2022 regarding mold led to potential lead-paint testing, and there was a garbage/recycling storage issue in November 2022 that was subsequently resolved. The building has a history of violations and maintenance needs, including a 2023 violation related to peeling paint surfaces in bathroom and hallway areas in Apartment 5A, and a broken intercom system citation, both of which were certified corrected by May 2023. Earlier violations from 2017 affected Apartment 5B, involving a leaking roof and damaged plastered surfaces.

The Department of Buildings recorded a boiler violation in 2021 with associated Environmental Control Board penalties, though this appears to have been resolved. Importantly, the building's bedbug and rodent inspection records show consistent pest management success, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years and recent rodent inspections passing. The property has demonstrated regular maintenance response to tenant complaints, though the pattern of recurring plumbing issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that require monitoring.
