310 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building at 310 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Soleyman Dardashtian and constructed in 1899, has experienced several maintenance and health-related issues over the past decade. Most recently, in March 2025, there were rodent-related concerns that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene attempted to investigate, though access was denied. The building currently has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, following similar violations in 2022 and 2021.

Multiple rodent inspections in 2025 (April and June) and an inspection in May 2023 revealed rat activity, marking a concerning trend for pest control adherence. Significant maintenance issues documented between 2012-2013 included water leaks from the roof affecting both the third-floor apartment (3FL) and various repair needs such as broken electrical fixtures, defective windows, and door problems, all of which were eventually certified as closed by November 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most persistent problems relating to rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance.

A comprehensive repair campaign appears to have been undertaken, as evidenced by the certification of several violations in late 2023, including those related to floor repairs, door functionality, and lighting in the common areas. The property's rodent inspection history indicates improved compliance in earlier years, with annual "Passed" results from 2010 through 2019, suggesting that recent rat activity represents a departure from previous standards. The building's average unit size and layout suggests typical three-unit building configuration without any atypical features or concerns.
