308 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

308 East 139th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently managed by B-ray Management Co. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building in February 2024. In late 2023, multiple violations were documented, including safety concerns with broken/missing window guards, plumbing issues with sinks, and various problems with appliances.

The building has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about rodent infestations recorded between 2021 and 2023, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity, most recently in July and May 2023. Notably, apartment 6 has several open violations as of March 2024, including water leaks affecting ceilings, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problematic self-closing doors, and ongoing pest infestations involving both mice and roaches. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of resolved and persistent issues, with some problems recurring over time.

While there have been no reports of bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last documented inspection period showing zero infestations), the building has faced challenges with heating systems, security features, and basic amenities. The property has a documented history of compliance inspections, with rodent activity being a recurring concern, though earlier inspections between 2010-2019 showed consistent passing results for rodent inspections before the more recent pattern of violations emerged. Recent housing maintenance code violations (from 2024) indicate ongoing issues that require attention, particularly focusing on safety features and basic living conditions in apartment 6.
