333 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
333 East 138th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Sagnia Balbuena. The property has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, with multiple open violations and recent service requests indicating persistent problems.
As of October 2024, there are multiple active violations including issues with unsanitary conditions in common areas, door maintenance problems, and significant structural concerns in Apartment 4E, including roof leaks, pest infestations, and inoperable safety devices. The building has faced consistent pest control challenges, particularly with rodent problems as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2020 and 2023, though the most recent 2023-2024 inspections have shown mixed compliance results. The property has several active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, and there are two substantial ECB violations from 2018 regarding unpermitted signage work with a cumulative penalty of $7,080.
Recent HPD inspections in September 2024 resulted in new violations regarding unsanitary conditions and door maintenance. The building has also experienced other maintenance issues in recent years, including problems with flooring, walls, and both common areas and individual apartments showing signs of neglect. While some past violations have been resolved, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding safety systems (such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and maintenance of basic building infrastructure, suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and tenant health/safety concerns.
