305 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The five-story, 11-unit residential building at 305 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Carey Clark and constructed in 1904, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

The property, however, has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency reporting, including failures to file benchmarking reports for 2019-2022 and to display energy efficiency scores as required by code. A significant construction phase occurred in early 2022, during which multiple safety-related violations were recorded, though these have since been resolved and included issues with work not conforming to approved documents, improper storage of materials, and failure to maintain required inspection documentation. The building has undergone regular inspections, consistently passing rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2019, and most recently in 2023.

Various permits have been issued over the years for work on the property, with the most recent being an electrical permit issued in February 2023. The Department of Buildings has responded to several complaints since 2020, most recently in early 2025, including routine safety inspections and compliance checks, all resulting in no violations being found at the time of inspection. While the building has had multiple violation notices regarding energy efficiency reporting, these appear to be administrative in nature rather than relating to building safety or habitability.
